An incredibly intense graphic novel that was originally published in 1988, writer Alan Moore and artist Brian Bolland delve into the criminal mind through flashbacks on the "birth" of the Joker and a look at his sickening work to destroy Police Commissioner James Gordon and to bring Batman to his knees through a manipulative psychological battle.
Commissioner Gordon is kidnapped by the Joker and taken to a dilapidated amusement park. There, he is forced to watch the heinous brutality administered to his daughter, Barbara, and forced to ride a gauntlet of terror which rips the heart to shreds.
How the one-shot story ends is a classic gaze at the fine-line between good and evil, justice and revenge, sanity and insanity. The original artwork is bolstered by new coloring by Bolland.
The story is a roller-coaster ride in emotions and is a powerful gaze at the shadows that haunt the soul of everyman.

First off, Amazon did a great job with speed and care of the delivery. The Killing joke has to be one of my favorite graphic novels and I am happy I was able to add it to my collection with the help of Amazon.

After forgetting comics from my youth, this was forced on me in college, and I was resistant. I remember my friend saying "Just read the first couple of pages". I did, and I was astounded. This was like nothing I had ever seen. The art was incredible. The story was gripping. This short graphic novel showed me why comics aren't just for kids.

I am a comic book nerd and whenever people give me that smug look this is the comic I lend them. It takes about thirty minutes to read and the story is grown up enough to make people realize that comics aren't for kids, they're just about story telling. This is fast paced and so emotional; only Moore could create a story that actually has you feeling sorry for a bad guy. Read this book!

While the art is fantastic I was a little disappointed by the brevity and lack of depth in the story. It just seemed to be over too quick and left me wanting more.
