Absolute Joker

DC's Absolute Joker (2013) is a single oversized prestige-format one-shot that distills the Clown Prince of Crime into a gritty, psychological horror piece. Written by Brian Azzarello with moody, hyper-detailed art by Lee Bermejo, it stands as a definitive modern take on the character, exploring his menace through a taut, standalone narrative that avoids typical superhero trappings.
