I think this hardcover copy of the Killing Joke is beautiful. I first read it over a decade ago, and have been looking for a copy ever since. I tend to be hard on my books, as I buy them to read and not just for collectibility, and the hard cover will stand up well. The additions and recoloring add a nice touch to a classic. If you're a Batman fan, buy it. If you're not a Batman fan, buy it and become one.
And that is not an exaggeration. It is a piece of comic book history that no fan should be without. It provides a very haunting look at the The Joker, Batman's deadliest foe who has recently been brought to life by Jack Nicholson and the late Heath Ledger.
Alan Moore & John Bolton... flawless. Bolton has redone the color himself. An improvement over the 80's original. Buy the deluxe edition, I bought mine on ebay for $ 7.99 - new & hardcover - beat that!
As I am a big Batman fan this book added to my collection reveals the side of Joker us adults would love to see. A little more gringy, psychotic, and humorous of course in ways society would not approve. But from a book and from a fictional hero/villian perspective yes it's a damn good book for any comic freaks taste.
