Joker: The Deluxe Edition, Hardcover

The award-winning creative team behind Batman: Damned, Brian Azzarello and Lee Bermejo, present one of the most chilling Joker stories ever told. Presented in a beautiful new hardcover edition.

The Joker has been mysteriously released from Arkham Asylum, and he's not happy about what's been happening in his city while he's been away. What follows is a harrowing night of revenge, murder and manic crime as only The Joker can deliver. He will take everything that is owed to him from the likes of the Penguin, the Riddler, Two-Face, Killer Croc and of course, the Batman.

The DC Black Label imprint features classic DC characters in compelling, standalone stories written and illustrated by world-class authors and artists.
