Editorial Reviews:
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 Moore. The art by Brian Bolland is so appealing that his depiction of the Joker became a standard and was imitated by many artists to follow.

Summary: Joker at his Best!
Comment: First off I had this book when I was young...the original print and then one day while shopping here on Amazon I find it in a hardcover edition and free shipping with my Prime membership....whoooooosssssshhhhhh in my cart faster then a speeding bullet!....Wait that's Supes not Bats....well you get the idea.

I must honestly say...the Killing Joke is without a doubt one of my all time favorite comic book self contained stories! How good is it, you ask? If I was stranded on a desert island and I could only take 5 of my all time favorite reads with me....Killing Joke would be one of them. Let me try to review without spoiling anything for those of you that may have never read this gem...and believe me it's been around for years!

First off the scribe of Alan Moore is nothing short of incredible to intense to at times insane. Mr. Moore can bring up feelings in his readers that make you want to turn you head to advert your eyes....but alas you can't and you won't....like a rubber necker driving past a car wreck you are doomed to stare all slacked jawed as you slowly roll by. That is the Killing Joke....Alan Moore at his best....teamed up with Brian Bolland (best known for his Judge Dredd vs. Judge Death in 2000AD comics) at his best. Brian has the spectacular talent to feed your eyes these unbelievable images and leave you wanting more. Even when they are ugly...haunting images....you still can see the beauty of his work.
So one of the best Batman Stories?? Without a doubt. Should you own it??? God yes! 5 out of 5 Stars....I would have given it 10!

Thanks for reading!

Summary: The Killing Joke
Comment: My second favorite comic ever to of course The Dark Knight Returns. The hard copy is definitely the recommended version. The coloring is phenomenal to go along with a quick moving plot line and some fantastic action sequences.

Summary: The Killing Joke
Comment: I expected more from this reading. Alan Moore did take it another level with what he did to Barbara Gordon in this issue. I found the ending anti-climactic. The art and coloring were good. I guess I've been spoiled by all the Batman cartoons and other Batman comics.
