Titan Books DC Comics novels - The Killing Joke

Original
The book is similar to the one showed and it's an original. The paper quality is also good. But if you are looking for a comic book then you would be disappointed because this is a novel. I wanted to buy a comic but by confusion I bought this. But the novel is good too.

Better than the Animated movie adaption however...
...the original comic is absolute. Like the animated movie adaption there is a lot of, I guess the right word is, filler before the true prose adaption of Killing Joke begins. THAT is the best, and only, way to experience this classic story. And if you love the comic enough and want to explore a different take on it, then try this book. It written well enough, yet not as good as Mad Love.In saying that, I myself as a mad fan of anything Batman and hardcovers am happy to still have this in my collection, regardless of its few narrative flaws. The cover art is absolutely amazing. I just personally think they should of adapted any other classic Batman story to prose over Killing Joke.Next up on my list: The Court of Owls novel.

A Killing Joke indeed!
Read the comic and try the novel version. Very nicely crafted and presented in the written format.

A good read
This non graphic version of the killing joke is a little different than the original graphic novel by Alan Moore. But this one is better than I expected. Even though the story gets a little stretched in the middle but nothing too much to get you bored. If you are a batman fan definitely go for it. Also the book was in good condition. Nothing crumpled or faded.

The Killing Joke
I purchased this book from Amazon to read. All opinions are my own. 🌟🌟🌟🌟 The Killing Joke by Christa Faust and Gary Phillips. This is typical Batman/Joker with female characters only being used as pawns in a game to help thugs gain ground. I only even mention that point because some readers feel objectifying women is a no read for them. Other than that it is filled with cool gadgets, awesome machine works, and muscle cars with writing that will keep you on the edge of your seat. Harley Quinn has a small part in this book, Catgirl is mentioned, along with TwoFace, Riddler, Penguin, and other villains. All in all the book was a great comic book read.
