About this Collection

This collection from Titan's Caped Crusader Classics! series reprints early Batman stories featuring the Clown Prince of Crime. The volume includes classic tales of Batman and Robin—both Bruce Wayne and Dick Grayson—battling the Joker in his most malevolent schemes from the Golden Age of comics.

In "The Joker," the Caped Crusader faces off against the Clown Prince of Crime in a high-stakes game of wits and traps, where a surprise from Batman’s utility belt sparks a bold new challenge — the Joker, determined to one-up the Dark Knight, unveils his own elaborate utility belt. Written by David Vern and illustrated by Dick Sprang with inks by Charles Paris and lettering by Ira Schnapp, this 1989 classic captures the chaotic brilliance of the Joker’s mind. The cover, a striking collaboration by Rian Hughes and Carol Thomas, perfectly encapsulates the issue’s twisted energy.
