Told through the eyes of his loyal (but naive) henchman Jonny Frost, JOKER is a true noir crime novel-a harrowing journey into a city of rainsoaked streets, dirty sheets and nothing but bad choices.

This original graphic novel tells the story of one very dark night in Gotham City-the Joker has been mysteriously released from Arkham Asylum, and he's none too happy about what's happened to his Gotham City rackets while he's been 'away.' What follows is a harrowing night of revenge, murder and manic crime as only The Joker can deliver it, as he brutally takes back his stolen assets from The Penguin, The Riddler, Two-Face, Killer Croc and, of course, The Batman-and heaven help them all.

'Disturbing, violent, odly psychological and insanely wonderful.'īrian Azzarello brings to THE JOKER all the visceral intensity and criminal insight that has made his Vertigo graphic novel series 100 BULLETS one of the most critically acclaimed and award-winning series in all of comics. 'A literary achievement that takes its place right alongside Alan Moore's The Killing Joke.'

The Clown Prince of Crime celebrates 80 years of chaos! The Joker has been the greatest villain in comics since his debut and to celebrate we have a who’s who of comics’ finest talent giving the Harlequin of Hate the birthday roast he deserves.'If you liked The Dark Knight, Joker is a must-have for your bookshelf.'.

Maybe it works better with villains like Victor Zsasz. Azzarello thinks that the nonsense violence makes the Joker more attractive, but that's not the main thing that we love from the Joker.

1960s variant cover by Francesco Mattina A rapist Joker is unnecessary and Azzarello's novel exaggerates with its baseless violence.
