BATMAN: THE KILLING JOKE (1988) DC; Alan Moore, Brian Bolland; 1st Print

Description: BATMAN: THE KILLING JOKE Published in July, 1988 by DC. Written by Alan Moore & illustrated by Brian Bolland. 52 pages. First Printing. Original cover price was $3.50. From a solicitation description: “Batman matches wits with his arch nemesis The Joker in this critically acclaimed, prestige format one-shot. He also laughs at one of his jokes. The book is infamous for the scene in which The Joker shoots and cripples Barbara Gordon, effectively ending her crime fighting career as Batgirl. Written by Alan Moore, with art by Brian Bolland. 52 pages, full color. NOTE: 1st Printing, title is printed in lime green embossed ink. All others are later printings.” Condition is Very Fine/Near Mint or better. This copy is actually new & never read, from a retired comic dealer’s overstock. However, back cover shows some light surface wear, so I am downgrading this to VF/NM. Please see photos. Will be bagged & boarded & shipped in a hard cardboard mailer via USPS Ground Advantage (what used to be First Class).
