About the series
A short-lived but visually striking two-issue series from 2009 to 2011, Histoires extraordinaires reimagines classic tales of mystery and the macabre through the lens of the Joker. Published by Joker, this French-language project casts the Clown Prince of Crime as the narrator and central figure in adaptations of Edgar Allan Poe's stories, blending the character's signature madness with gothic horror. The series is most notable for its distinctive, moody artwork and its unusual premise of using a DC supervillain to channel Poe's literary voice, offering a niche curiosity for fans of both the character and classic literature.
