Joker ― Dc Black Label Edition

The Joker has been mysteriously released from Arkham Asylum, and he's none too happy about what's happened to his Gotham City rackets while he's been "away." Briuan Azzarello and Lee Bermejo bring you the most terrifying Joker tale ever written!

Joker tells the story of one very dark night in Gotham City--a harrowing night of revenge, murder and manic crime as only the Joker can deliver it, as he brutally takes back his stolen assets from The Penguin, The Riddler, Two-Face, Killer Croc and others.

Brian Azzarello and Lee Bermejo--the superstar, critically acclaimed creative team behind Batman: Damned and Luthor--unite to tell a haunting, crime noir story about the Clown Prince of Crime. Joker's 10th Anniversary is celebrated with this brand new, DC Black Label edition.

DC Black Label, a new publishing imprint from DC Entertainment, gives premier talent the opportunity to expand upon the canon of DC's iconic Super Hero comic book characters with unique, standalone stories that are outside of the current DC Universe continuity. Featuring an all-star lineup of creative teams that will craft their own personal definitive DC stories in the tradition of compelling literary works like Batman: The Killing Joke, All-Star Superman and Kingdom Come.

Brian Azzarello has been writing comics professionally since the mid-1990s. He is the author of Jonny Double, Batman: Broken City and the Harvey and Eisner award-winning 100 Bullets, all created in collaboration with artist Eduardo Risso. The New York Times best-selling author's other work for DC includes the titles Hellblazer and Loveless (both with Marcelo Frusin), Batman: The Dark Knight: The Master Race (with Frank Miller, Andy Kubert and Klaus Janson), Superman: For Tomorrow (with Jim Lee), Joker and Luthor (both with Lee Bermejo), Sgt. Rock: Between Hell And A Hard Place (with Joe Kubert), Filthy Rich (with Victor Santos) and most recently the all-new ongoing series Wonder Woman (with Cliff Chiang). He also wrote the Richard Corben-illustrated graphic novels Cage and Banner for Marvel Comics.
