“The Joker Goes "Wilde"!”

The Clown Prince of Crime takes center stage on this vivid February 1976 cover by Ernie Chan, where a gleefully maniacal Joker dominates the bold red background, fists crackling with energy as card-themed villains — the Royal Flush Gang — swirl around him atop giant playing cards. The cover promises exactly what it delivers: the Joker versus a gang of costumed card criminals, with an Ace of Spades nearly as large as the man himself anchoring the chaotic scene. Inside, writer Martin Pasko and artist Irv Novick (inked by Tex Blaisdell) bring the story "The Joker Goes 'Wilde'!" to life, making this a genuinely fun entry in DC's mid-seventies run of solo Joker adventures.
