About this Collection

This deluxe hardcover collects Alan Moore and Brian Bolland's seminal 1988 graphic novel, a dark exploration of the Joker's origin and his attempt to drive Commissioner Gordon insane by shooting and paralyzing his daughter, Barbara Gordon (Batgirl). The story is a psychological thriller that examines the thin line between sanity and madness, featuring iconic artwork and a haunting narrative that redefined both Batman and the Joker. This edition includes restored coloring by Bolland and additional material such as sketches and an introduction.

In Batman: The Killing Joke, Batman confronts a twisted game of psychological torment when the Joker’s presence at Arkham Asylum proves to be a ruse. As the Clown Prince of Crime strikes at Commissioner Gordon’s family and traps Jim in a nightmarish, carnival-themed trap, Batman races to stop him—only to face a foe who sees madness as a twisted form of truth. Written by Alan Moore and illustrated by Brian Bolland, this iconic story blends chilling atmosphere and moral ambiguity, with Bolland’s distinctive art and lettering by LetterFactory bringing every shadowed moment to life. The cover, also by Brian Bolland, captures the story’s unsettling tone in bold, striking detail.
