I just finished reading the Killing Joke by Alan Moore, the same man who wrote the masterpiece The Watchmen. And I have to say, HE'S DONE IT AGAIN. He has somehow captured the very essence of everything that is the Joker and make it even better. The Joker is absolutely sadistic and I couldn't be more satisfied with it. All I could say after I read it was, "YES YES YES! THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT!" It was everything the Joker is and should always be, hands down.
You can't not talk about the artwork in this beautiful book. Brian Bolland brilliantly visualized the Joker for all the world to see and he could not have done a better job. His "meticulous attention to detail" and"perfected clean-line style" have complemented this book better than most other artists could have done. He took on the task of illustrating the Joker for the masses, looked into its eyes, and slapped it like a pimp and walked away giving it the bird.
Therefore, I order you to go out and buy/borrow/steal these two masterpieces of literature. They need to be read by all! Young, old, dumb, intelligent, man, woman. Everyone must read it.
