About the series
In Top 15 (2007–2014), DC Comics’ Joker stars in a seven-issue miniseries that reimagines the Clown Prince of Crime as a calculating, brutal crime boss in Gotham’s underworld. Written by Brian Azzarello with stark, moody art by Lee Bermejo, the story strips away the character’s theatricality for a grounded, noir-infused portrait of his violent rise to power. This series matters for its unflinching, mature take on the Joker, treating him not as a punchline but as a terrifyingly real figure of chaos.
