“A Gold Star for the Joker”

Perched atop a vertiginous rooftop high above a city street, the Joker dandles a dark-haired woman over the edge with a maniacal laugh, taunting Green Arrow — visible below with arrow drawn — in a chilling standoff captured brilliantly by cover artist Ernie Chan. The composition makes breathtaking use of the aerial perspective, with the sprawling cityscape far below reinforcing just how precarious the hostage's situation looks. Inside, writer Elliot S! Maggin and artist José Luis García-López team up to pit the Clown Prince of Crime against the Emerald Archer in "A Gold Star for the Joker," making this December 1975 issue a genuinely entertaining chapter in the Joker's short-lived solo series.
