The Killing Joke

Written By David Witting

Why?

We love the Joker, and this is truly him at his peak. The Killing Joke is a chilling exploration of madness and morality, as the Joker pushes Commissioner Gordon to his breaking point, all while Batman races against time to stop him. Moore and Bolland deliver a haunting narrative that forces us to question the line between sanity and insanity, hero and villain. For anyone drawn to dark, psychological storytelling that goes beyond the typical superhero fare, this one hits hard and will leave a long-lasting impression long after you close the cover.
