Description: Product Description The Killing Joke, one of my favorite Batman stories ever, stirred a bit of controversy because the story involves the Joker brutally, pointlessly shooting Commissioner Gordon's daughter in the spine. This is a no-holds-barred take on a truly insane criminal mind, masterfully written by British comics writer Alan Mo ... (more)

"Before I had read Batman: Year One, I was recommending that this is the one Batman story they had to read, if they had to read only one. I now stand corrected, but this is still a superb story in it's own right."

The Best Batman Around (18 books items)

"This one sometimes gets mixed reviews. Apparently, even Moore himself has admitted it wasn't his best. OK, maybe it isn't mind-blowing, but it's a single issue. It's a real challenge to tell a complete, beginning to end story in a single issue, much less something compelling, different, and containing some degree of literary merit.

"Written by: Alan Moore Art by: Brian Bolland A funny thing happened on the way to the insane asylum... The origin of the Joker has long been a mystery. That is until Alan Moore exposed a "possible" origin for the Clown Prince of Crime. For the first time we are shown the Joker as a sympathetic character, of a good man driven to insanity by a pair of unfortunate accidents. In fact, the Joker attempts to earn sympathy from the Batman of all people through a heinous act. Attempting to drive Commi"
