American Update: ‘Put On A Happy Face’! Joker #1 from 1975
*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. We have the first issue newly in stock: #1, pitting ‘Mr. J.’ against fellow villain Two-Face, is VF at £65, a cents copy, with no UK price markings or overstamp. With the Joker recently getting his own solo big-screen movie, his Silver and Bronze Age appearances are spiralling in value… SORRY, THIS HAS NOW SOLD
