Following directly after DC Finest: Batman: Year One and Two, the 1980s adventures of the Dark Knight continue, including the seminal The Killing Joke!

DC Finest presents comprehensive collections of the most in-demand and celebrated periods in DC Comics history, spanning genres, characters, and eras!

DC Finest: Batman: Year One and Two, one of the first DC Finest volumes, collected the initial years of the post-Crisis on Infinite Earths exploits of the Dark Knight. DC Finest: Batman: The Killing Joke and Other Stories picks up right where that volume left off, including the titular Batman: The Killing Joke by writer Alan Moore and artist Brian Bolland--one of the most influential Batman stories of all time, and a defining moment in the lives of both The Joker and Barbara Gordon.

This volume also includes Batman: Son of the Demon by Mike W. Barr and Jerry Bingham, which detailed the relationship between Batman and Talia al Ghul and directly inspired Grant Morrison and Andy Kubert's "Batman and Son," the story that introduced Damian Wayne. Plus, more major Bat-stories including "Ten Nights of the Beast" by Jim Starlin and Jim Aparo!

Collects Batman: The Killing Joke #1; Batman #413-422; Detective Comics #580-589; and Batman: Son of the Demon #1.

Author Biography

Alan Moore is perhaps the most acclaimed writer in the graphic story medium, having garnered countless awards for works such as Watchmen, V for Vendetta, From Hell, Miracleman, and Swamp Thing. He is also the mastermind behind the America's Best Comics line, through which he created (along with many talented artists) The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Promethea, Tom Strong, Tomorrow Stories, and Top 10. As one of the medium's most important innovators since the early 1980s, Moore has influenced an entire generation of comics creators, and his work continues to inspire an ever-growing audience. Moore resides in central England.
