About the series
In this chilling 2019–2020 DC miniseries, writer Jeff Lemire and artist Andrea Sorrentino reframe the Joker as a psychological terror, focusing on the obsessive relationship between the Clown Prince of Crime and a well-meaning psychiatrist who believes he can cure him. Across three taut issues, Sorrentino’s stark, shadow-drenched visuals and Lemire’s unnerving script blur the line between sanity and madness, creating a haunting character study that stands apart from typical Joker stories. It’s a compact, atmospheric thriller that lingers long after the final page.
