Batman / Judge Dredd: Die Laughing #1

Two titans of their respective worlds — Batman swooping in with red-eyed intensity and Judge Dredd astride his massive Lawmaster bike — share a cover bristling with attitude, while a leather-clad Judge Anderson stands her ground in the background and the Joker's unsettling grin looms large overhead. Written by Alan Grant and John Wagner with cover art by Glenn Fabry, this 1998 DC crossover is a genuine meeting of minds from both sides of the Atlantic. "Die Laughing" promises exactly the kind of collision fans of both characters had been hoping for, and Book 1 of 2 sets the stage in fine style.
