About this Collection

This omnibus collects the Joker's solo stories from the Bronze Age of comics, primarily drawn from his 1970s series and guest appearances in other DC titles. It showcases the Clown Prince of Crime in a variety of macabre and often humorous tales, reflecting the era's shift toward darker, more character-driven storytelling. The volume includes material by notable creators such as Denny O'Neil, Neal Adams, and Dick Giordano, offering a comprehensive look at the Joker's evolution during this period.

In "Snapper Carr -- Super-Traitor!", the Joker takes the stand in a courtroom drama that unfolds with chilling precision, claiming to have killed Batman—only to be challenged by Two-Face, who demands proof. Written by David V. Reed and illustrated by John Calnan with inks by Tex Blaisdell, this gripping tale unfolds through a twist-laden trial that masks a deeper deception, with colors by Jerry Serpe and Drew Moore, and letters by Ben Oda. The cover, a striking portrait by José Luis García-López, captures the moment of revelation, as the true identity behind the mask begins to unravel.
