“All it takes is one bad day to reduce the sanest man alive to lunacy. That's how far the world is from where I am. Just one bad day.”

This is the first comic I've ever read. Of course I've read manga and graphic novels as for comics this is my first and I'm happy to say it did not dissapoint.

Short and sweet. Just a superhero book, basicsally, but a pretty good one. You'll enjoy it if you like the Joker and crazy people, otherwise give it a miss.

Kind of bizarrely priced at $10, short as it is. It's got Alan Moore's name on it, sure, and he does a good job, but it isn't his best work.

For my money, the highlight is the illustrations. Not of everything, really, though it's all perfectly fine -- just of the Joker. Some really good work there.

"If I'm going to have a past, I prefer it to be multiple choice: HA HA HA!"

Excellent. A must read for any Joker fan. It resolves nothing, it asks more questions and only shows that the Joker is truly crazy with a twisted sense of humour but Batman has come to understand, though certainly by no means, accept their fate.

My God what storytelling!! Grey nature of Joker's origin story does the trick. Alan Moore rocks
