Joker

The Joker is Batman's most notorious archenemy — a homicidal, chaos-driven criminal mastermind whose unpredictable genius and twisted humor make him Gotham City's ultimate threat, appearing in Italian editions published by Sergio Bonelli Editore.

Few villains cast a shadow quite like the Joker, and this particular incarnation emerged in 1967 — deep in the Silver Age — under the pen of Murphy Anderson for Sergio Bonelli Editore, giving Italian comics readers their own encounter with Gotham's most infamous face. Across a surprisingly eclectic stretch of appearances spanning into the 2020s, this Joker shares pages with the likes of Batman, Bruce Wayne, Alfred Pennyworth, Commissario Gordon, and even the unlikely company of Dylan Dog and Corto Maltese, hinting at a wonderfully offbeat publishing history where genres and worlds collide. With appearances spread across Dylan Dog / Batman, Batman, and Corto Maltese, this is a version of the character that traveled some genuinely unexpected corners of the Italian comics landscape. For collectors with a taste for international editions and crossover curiosities, seven appearances across 56 years makes each one a find worth hunting down.
