About this Collection

This deluxe hardcover collects the classic 1988 Batman graphic novel by writer Alan Moore and artist Brian Bolland, presenting the story in a restored, recolored edition. The tale explores the Joker's origin as he attempts to drive Commissioner Gordon insane, leading to a dark confrontation with Batman. This new edition features a new cover and additional material, including Bolland's original pencils and a sketchbook section.

"Batman: The Killing Joke" is a landmark issue written by Alan Moore and illustrated by Brian Bolland, whose distinctive art defines the story’s chilling tone. In this definitive tale, Batman confronts a twisted version of the Joker in Arkham Asylum, only to find himself chasing a maniacal copycat who targets Commissioner Gordon and his daughter Barbara. The cover by Brian Bolland captures the story’s eerie, grotesque elegance, making this Deluxe Edition a must-have for fans of noir-tinged superhero drama.
