Batman: The Killing Joke Graphic Novel #2

Batman: The Killing Joke Graphic Novel (2008)
CBR | 65 Pages | 2008 | 52 MB
(2008 De Luxe Hardcover)

Many--critics and fanboys alike--consider this the 3rd greatest Batman story--some even swear it is the greatest--after the above two mentioned. In 2008 it was reprinted in a deluxe hardcover edition. This Deluxe Edition features new coloring by Brian Bolland, meant to illustrate his original intentions for the book, with more somber, realistic, and subdued colors than the intensely-colored original. Also included in the de luxe edition is a colored version of Bolland's "An Innocent Guy" (originally published in Batman: Black & White), an introduction by Tim Sale, and an epilogue by Bolland. This post, then, would not be complete unless it includes the digital scans of both the original 1998 softcover and the 2008 de luxe hardcover editions and of course that's what I have for you.
