About this Collection

This deluxe hardcover celebrates eight decades of the Joker with a curated selection of key stories from DC Comics history, spanning the character's first appearance in 1940 through modern interpretations. It includes classic tales by legendary creators, showcasing the Clown Prince of Crime's evolution from a cunning prankster to a symbol of chaos in the DC Universe. The collection also features behind-the-scenes material and a gallery of iconic covers and artwork.

A landmark tribute to one of comics’ most enduring villains, The Joker: 80 Years of the Clown Prince of Crime: The Deluxe Edition collects a gripping, high-stakes tale written by Ed Brubaker and Greg Rucka, illustrated by Michael Lark with inks by Stefano Gaudiano, colors by Lee Loughridge, and letters by Clem Robins. In a tense, brutal sequence, Gotham Central Detectives press the Joker for information on Angie Molina, only to find themselves caught in a deadly game of cat and mouse—culminating in shocking violence and a desperate race against time. The cover, a striking collaboration by Jim Lee, Brian Bolland, and Scott Williams, captures the chaos and menace of the Joker’s world.
