by Alan Moore, Brian Bolland
A dark exploration of the relationship between Batman and the Joker. Moore's psychological thriller is both disturbing and profound.
Geek’s cut
A tight, nasty little thought experiment about one bad day, sanity as a coin flip, and why Batman refuses to laugh even when the joke lands. It’s the book that makes you uncomfortable about how much you relate to both of them.
Deeper dive
