Critically acclaimed author Alan Moore, known for redefining graphic novel storytelling with Watchmen and V for Vendetta, delivers a seminal work in Batman: The Killing Joke. This deluxe edition delves into the horrifying origin of the Joker, one of comics' greatest super-villains, fundamentally changing Batman's world forever.

The narrative centers on the Joker's deranged philosophy: that only "ONE BAD DAY" separates the sane from the psychotic. Freed from Arkham Asylum, the Joker targets Commissioner Jim Gordon and his daughter Barbara to prove his point. Batman must race against time to stop his archnemesis before his reign of terror claims two of the Dark Knight's closest allies.
