Batman: The Killing Joke - Remastered
DC Comics recently released a new Special Edition of Alan Moore�s and Brian Bolland�s influential Batman: The Killing Joke. Considered one of the finest superhero-starring comic stories ever told and probably the most emotionally powerful Batman story ever written, it is also one of my all-time favorite books of any kind.

Obviously I already own a copy and hadn�t given the re-lease much thought.
Until, that is, I saw some scans PopCultureShock provided showing the difference between the original artwork and the re-colored artwork Brian Bolland supplied for the Special Edition.

These few pages show a considerable improvement in the choice of coloring from the previously published pages. Already knowing the story, these re-colored pages would fit the tone and psychological nature of Moore�s script much better. I might have to consider adding this new edition to my comic book library.
