BATMAN THE KILLING JOKE
2 2

191 posts in this topic

Went to an auction today and picked up this issue along with 15 others including

Miller's "DARK KNIGHTS" a "LEGENDS OF THE DARK KNIGHT" #1, and the collector's

issue of a "DEATH IN THE FAMILY".

I wasn't planning to buy anything but I couldn't pass this up and nobody else was bidding.

Great read, I have a raw copy myself that could be a 9.8 but I'm not sure it's worth submitting since there are so many graded examples out there.

 

With all the versions and printings, I'm not sure which one I have.

love this book, story, art, all

 

this was one of the first books i bought multiples of as an "investment" off rack - on the heels of the first movie - i eventually sold the extras and read copies on ebay and saved just one for the PC.

 

i also have the kindle version which i enjoy flipping through on the iPad for a quick fix.

Here is a list I did in another thread

http://boards.collectors-society.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=7819608#Post7819608

 

Just an update on the US and Foreign editions I have found. Bold are ones I have and any help on tracking down others would be appreciated. And if you know of any others that are not listed, let me know so I can add them.
