Description
Brian Bolland Batman: The Killing Joke Story Page #11 Original Art (DC, 1989). The Joker's first associations with the Red Hood and Gotham's Ace Chemical Processing Plant date back to 1951 in Detective Comics #168, which gave readers a Joker origin story as the villain leaps into a vat of chemicals to escape Batman.In this critically acclaimed one-shot, Alan Moore would resurrect both representations of the infamous villain -- on this very page we see the first mentions of the chemical plant, and also the first appearance of the actual red-lensed hood that the eventual Crown Prince of Crime would wear as a hired felon.
Brian Bolland scored a critical hit at DC with his art on the Camelot 3000 mini-series, and his earlier work on the Judge Dredd stories in 2000 A.D. Weekly had established him as a top talent in the field. For most comic fans, he secured a place in the comic-book hall of fame with his work on this powerful story. Ink over graphite on Bristol board with an image area of 10" x 15.5". Light toning, all text are paste-ups, the top border has a horizontal crease all the way across, and there is marginal tape residue. Signed in the lower area. In Excellent condition.
Property From the Collection of Darren Shan.
