Posted by BDcomics in : Comics , trackbackSome guy wrote a comment telling me about his putting up Scans of comics in http://www.undergroundpad.com/. Currently, there’s only Batman’s “The Killing Joke” available in the Downloads section. Registration required. The file is 13 MB.
“For nearly a quarter of a century, visionary writer Alan Moore has pushed the limits of what is possible to achieve in the comics medium. With his ground breaking work on such titles as Watchmen and V for Vendetta, Moore redefined visual narrative in the 1980s. His unique talents continue to grow, unabated, to the present day.”
With Batman: The Killing Joke, Moore and collaborator Brian Bolland deliver a stunning reimagination of one of comics’ most famous adversarial pairings. In retelling the origin of the Dark Knight’s nemesis, The Killing Joke explores not only the cruelty and absurdity of fate, but also the resilience of humanity in the face of it. This book, along with A Death in the Family is a must have for a person’s Batman collection.
