Les Chroniques de Batman #1

In this landmark 1989 issue of Les Chroniques de Batman, Alan Moore and Janine Bharucha craft a chilling, psychologically charged tale that redefines the Batman-Joker dynamic. Brian Bolland’s striking art—penciled and inked with meticulous precision, colored by John Higgins—brings a surreal, nightmarish quality to a story where the Joker’s presence is both everywhere and nowhere, culminating in a twisted carnival showdown that leaves even Batman questioning the line between madness and truth. The cover by Brian Bolland captures the eerie, theatrical dread that permeates the entire arc.
