Graphic Novel
Presented for the first time with stark, stunning new
coloring by Bolland, BATMAN: THE KILLING JOKE is Alan
Moore's unforgettable meditation on the razor-thin line
between sanity and insanity, heroism and villainy, comedy
and tragedy.
According to the grinning engine of madness and mayhem
known as The Joker, that's all that separates the sane
from the psychotic. Freed once again from the confines of
Arkham Asylum, he's out to prove his deranged point. And
he¿s going to use Gotham City's top cop, Commissioner Jim
Gordon, and his brilliant and beautiful daughter Barbara
to do it. Now Batman must race to stop his archnemesis before his
reign of terror claims two of the Dark Knight's closest
friends. Can he finally put an end to the cycle of
bloodlust and lunacy that links these two iconic foes
before it leads to its fatal conclusion? And as the
horrifying origin of the Clown Prince of Crime is finally
revealed, will the thin line that separates Batman's
nobility and The Joker's insanity snap once and for all? Legendary writer Alan Moore redefined the super-hero with
WATCHMEN and V FOR VENDETTA. In BATMAN: THE KILLING JOKE,
he takes on the origin of comics' greatest super-villain,
The Joker —and changes Batman's world forever. Stunningly illustrated, BATMAN: THE KILLING JOKE, THE
DELUXE EDITION has been lushly re-colored by artist Brian
Bolland, presenting his original vision of this modern
classic for the first time.
