Batman: The Killing Joke Deluxe (New Edition): The Deluxe Edition: DC Black Label Edition

One of the most iconic Batman stories ever, the perfect fusion of Moore's sardonic prose and brutality storytelling combined with Holland's meticulous light and shadow art.Conceived as a graphic novel it entered canon by virtue of its searing story and gave birth to the new incarnation of Barbara Gordon as Oracle. Leaning into the 'failed comedian' Joker origin and playing on the 'One Bad Day' trope turning a regular Joe into a supervillain, the shocks of this epic Joker tale are in his actions and Batman's reactions.This Deluxe Edition features Bolland's own colouring of his original artwork, a bonus Bolland-penned story with many artwork and cover features. Highly recommended for revisiting an epic story and a must for Holland fans.

if is one of the most famous batman graphic novel... there must be a reason.just buy it.

An excellent story with some of the best art in comics. Recoloured by the artist, with some retouching, this looks much better than the original edition. It has since been disowned by it’s author as sexist; I would characterize it more finely as being a tale about men which doesn’t leave space for the tales of the women.

Always like the graphic novels. Very expressive obviously more violent than the animation on TV.

Love it!

Arrived in great condition - what a great story too! The artwork is amazing!Although the comic itself is very short, leaves a lot to be desired - the plot could of easily been developed further.

The Joker has escaped from Arkham Asylum and is willing to test his theory that everyone is only one bad day from madness. Setting his sights on Commissioner Gordon, he aims to strip back all sense of sanity from him and break his spirit once and for all.Moore's key 'Batman' storyline is a deranged but brilliant piece of art which is as shocking today as when it first came out.

One of the Best Joker Stories I have Read You reall Begin To understand How and why Joker does what he does He Trying to demonstrate that just Bad Day can change Anyone I loved the opening Dialogue at Arkham Asylum.Batman : I have Been Thinking About this About us about how this is going to End...Perhaps you will Kill me Perhaps I'll kill you
