glad to hear ur considering haunted knight, and i highly recommed it. its a collection of 3 lotdk halloween specials. its done by the team of loeb and sale, the same duo behind long halloween and dark victory. if uve read either of those and u liked them then ull have no problem with this collection. the 3 stories are written well and the art is quite nice too. the last of three stories is actually a bit of a spin off of dicken's Christmas carol, which is pretty kool in my opinion.

this was actually the first batman tpb i ever got and in my opinion was a good choice to start off with. so yeah once again i definitely recommend it Smile

These stories were a nice "trial run" for the epics "The Long Halloween" and "Dark Victory." I wouldn't rank them among my favorite Batman stories, but they're good, solid entertainment, with great moody art by Sale. And like BDG said, they're a pretty good starting point if you haven't read a lot of Batman comics.
