The comic is a ...

If you like Batman, if you collect comics, or you are at all intrigued by the Batman/Joker dynamic, this is a must have for your collection.

Read It
Read this a few years ago. First graphic novel I read for pleasure (read Maus for a history class). Terrific story and images. Highly recommend. The movie did some justice to the story but do yourself a favor and read the novel.
