The Killing Joke - Alan Moore, Brian Bolland
By Shubhajit Lahiri | October 3rd, 2008 | Category: Graphic Novels, Literature | No Comments »The Killing Joke is arguably the greatest Joker story ever told. It traces the history of Joker – how a simple-minded, innocent looking, God-fearing, struggling family man with a beautiful and loving wife turns into Batman’s greatest and most iconic foe. The theme propounded here is brilliant. The Joker believes that one really bad day can turn even the sanest person into the very reincarnation of devil and horror, since that’s all it took for him. And he is convinced that the same happened for Batman as well.
