Gotham Central #14
In "Soft Targets Part Three of Four," the Gotham Central detectives press forward in their hunt for the Joker, following a trail to the gun dealer he used to buy a rifle. When the acting Mayor orders them to arrest a group of low-level henchmen known as the Killer Clowns—though they know nothing—the case takes a sudden turn when Lt. Probson steps outside for a smoke and the Joker walks up to turn himself in. Written by Ed Brubaker and Greg Rucka, with art by Michael Lark and inks by Stefano Gaudiano, this tense installment blends procedural detail with the ever-present threat of chaos, all captured in a cover by Michael Lark.
