First line

[After 21 panels without narration or dialog, we see Batman and the Joker in a prison cell. The Joker's playing solitaire...]:

"There were these two guys in a lunatic asylum.. [FNAP (the sound of cards shuffling)]

Batman: Hello. I came to talk.

Joker: [FNAP]

Batman: I've been thinking lately about you and me. About what's going to happen to us in the end. We're going to kill each other aren't we?

Joker: [FNAP]"

Annotation

In this now infamous Batman tale, Alan Moore--who also crafted WATCHMEN and V FOR VENDETTA--paints a painfully psychotic portrayal of one of the Dark Knight’s most formidable enemies. The Joker has always been a loose canon, but he is at his most psychologically vicious and senselessly violent in THE KILLING JOKE. Throughout the story flashbacks gradually reveal bits of his back story. Bolland offers rich, new coloring to the often trippy scenarios in this 20th-anniversary hardback re-release of this classic Batman originally published in 1988. The volume also includes Bolland’s story "An Innocent Guy" as an afterward.
