Description

One of the bestselling graphic novels of all-time after all gets the Absolute remedy, as BATMAN: THE KILLING JOKE is presented in a 30th Anniversary harcover slipcase edition!

Critically acclaimed creator Alan Moore redefined the super-hero with Watchmen and V for Vendetta. In Batman: The Killing Joke, he’s taking on the origin of comics’ greatest super-villain, The Joker–and changes Batman’s world ceaselessly. Batman: The Killing Joke is Alan Moore’s unforgettable meditation on the razor-thin line between sanity and insanity, heroism and villainy, comedy and tragedy.

According to the grinning engine of madness and mayhem referred to as The Joker, that’s all that separates the sane from the psychotic. Freed once again from the confines of Arkham Asylum, he is out to prove his deranged point. And he’ll use Gotham City’s top cop, Commissioner Jim Gordon, and his brilliant and beautiful daughter Barbara to do it.

Now Batman will have to race to stop his archnemesis before his reign of terror claims two of the Dark Knight’s closest friends. Can he after all put an end to the cycle of bloodlust and lunacy that links these two iconic foes before it leads to its fatal conclusion? And as the horrifying origin of the Clown Prince of Crime is after all revealed, will the thin line that separates Batman’s nobility and The Joker’s insanity snap once and for all?

Absolute Batman: The Killing Joke collects Batman: The Killing Joke and stories from Batman: Black & White #4, Coutdown #31, Who’s Who in the DC Universe #13, with bonus material that includes Brian Bolland’s new coloring from the Deluxe Edition, the original John Higgins coloring, all 128 pages of the script that has never been published before, Brian Bolland’s Joker covers and sketches, in the past unpublished Bolland Batman/Joker sketches and more!
