American Update: Put On A Happy Face! Complete first Joker solo series from 1975 & 1976
*DC: Daringly, in 1975, DC awarded the Joker his own title, (in defiance of the Comics Code, which said that villains couldn’t be shown to triumph) and even now, decades later, it remains the Clown Prince Of Crime’s only on-going series. Not that it ‘on-went’ for long, stopping at #9. But what was a Bronze Age curio has now become a much sought-after short series with one of the hottest characters in comics. The first issue pits ‘Mr. J.’ against fellow villain Two-Face, and subsequent issues feature DCU guest heroes and villains such as the Creeper, the Royal Flush Gang, Green Arrow, Lex Luthor, the Scarecrow, Catwoman and Sherlock Holmes! With the Joker recently getting his own solo big-screen movie, his Silver and Bronze Age appearances are spiralling in value. A full run of all 9 issues now back in stock.
