One bad day. Freed once again from the confines of Arkham Asylum, The Joker is out to prove a deranged point. And he's going to use Gotham City's top cop, commissioner Jim Gordon, and his brilliant daughter Barbara (a.k.a. Batgirl) to do it. Now Batman must race to stop his archnemesis before his reign of terror claims two of the Dark Knight's closest friends. Critically acclaimed author Alan Moore redefined graphic novel story-telling with Watchmen and V for Vendetta. In Batman: The Killing Joke, he takes on the origin of comics' greatest super-villain, The Joker, and changes Batman's world forever. Absolute Batman: The Killing Joke (30th Anniversary Edition) includes both the recolored art by artist Brian Bolland and the original colors by John Higgins, along with the never-before-published scripts, and numerous Batman and Joker sketches and stories by Bolland.

Adapting what may be the most popular of graphic novels, by the edgy Hard Case Crime author, adding layers and exploring the nature of morality. Faced with overwhelming poverty and a pregnant wife, a tragic, struggling comedian is forced to turn to crime. In his first heist, he is immersed in toxic chemicals that disfigure him bizarrely, driving him mad and thus giving birth to The Joker. For years, the Clown Prince of Crime has been caught in a dance of violence with his greatest nemesis, the Batman. Escaping Arkham Asylum, he plots his most lethal caper. This will be the ultimate punch line... his KILLING JOKE. In their mission to protect Gotham City, Batman and Batgirl (Barbara Gordon) pursue ruthless criminals such as the grandiose Maxie Zeus and Antonio "Python" Palmares. Simultaneously, Commissioner James Gordon and Detective Harvey Bullock take on a cartel distributing the latest designer drug--"giggle sniff," derived from a venom created by The Joker. This rapid-fire sequence of events spirals together to threaten Batman's closest friends and allies, and locks the two eternal foes in their ultimate death match. Copyright © 2017 DC Comics.

CI SONO DUE MATTI IN UN MANICOMIO... Basta una brutta giornata per ridurre alla follia l’uomo più assennato del pianeta. Joker è di nuovo a piede libero e sembra essere intenzionato a dimostrare quanto le differenze tra lui e Batman siano labili. Per affermare la propria tesi il Principe Pagliaccio del Crimine ha scelto di colpire il più integerrimo tra i cittadini di Gotham: il Commissario Jim Gordon! Riuscirà il Cavaliere Oscuro a sventare l’ennesimo folle piano della sua nemesi e porre fine al continuo ripetersi degli eventi? Fin dove è realmente pronto a spingersi? L’incredibile mente di Alan Moore (Watchmen, V for Vendetta) e l’eccezionale mano di Brian Bolland (Camelot 3000) si uniscono per dare corpo a una delle pietre miliari del fumetto americano, ridefinendo la dicotomia tra Batman e Joker.
