highly recommended

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.

Loved It!!!!

I bought this as a birthday gift for my husband and he loved it. He is very much into Batman and his favorite character is the joker so when i was browsing online and saw it I just had to get it. He really enjoyed it. My husband is not really big on reading but he absolutely loved reading The Killing Joke.

Great Story

Very well written story that gives a little bit of a glimpse inside the mind of the Joker.

Good Read

The book shows an interesting perspective on how the Joker came to be. Made him more of a tortured and dark character (much like what Frank Miller did to Batman). Short and sweet, pick up this book if you want to see the direction that Tim Burton and Christopher Nolan took for the Joker character.

This is an ok story but it isnt worth a five

First off I love the stroy it just seems like it was lacking something. I dont like it when a story makes me feel that way because then there is almost no reason in reading again. That is just my personal view. I appreciate the joker being brutal but like I said, there was something missing. I guess I had certain expectations seeing as so many people swear by this story. It was good it isnt great. Plus, when I get my books, I want them to be in awesome condition. There are many little flaws on the slip cover and on the actual hard cover, there are pencile marks!!! Pencile marks!! What, did thet use it as a clip board before they shipped it??? WTF?!?! I dont live with mommy and daddy and I work for my money so when you say its new thats how I expect to get it. When I bought this book I also purchaced the Weapon X story arch and that book to was damaged when I was told that it was new. I dont know just not a good experience in general.... :(
