Capturing the eternal struggle between the greatest pair in comics, The Killing Joke lays out their relation like no other. Two men at constant odds come closer than ever as Alan Moore humanizes these characters, and cause us to question our own morality and choices. This edition also benefits from the masterful coloring of the original artist Brian Bolland, and is worth it to see the world envisioned in his colors.

A classic then; a classic now. BATMAN: The Killing Joke will undoubtedly
take its rightful place in the annals of graphic storytelling as one of, if
not a watershed moment in the medium where "everything changed." A must
read for any Batman / Joker fan who wishes to delve much deeper into what
indeed makes these 2 personalities "click." Any library is incomplete
without this on their bookshelf.

Iv wanted to read this story for years now I was so hyped up that I finally bought it after so long.. Then I read it and was sort of disappointed.. I'm not saying is wasn't good it was I just had expected more. If your a big (Batman/Joker) fan like me then then its still worth reading at the very least u can say you've read it before
