A THRILLING STORY OF PSYCHOLOGICAL HORROR THAT EXPLORES THE MADNESS OF ONE OF THE MOST COMPLEX SUPERCRIMINALS OF THE NINTH ART. IN THE MOUTH OF MADNESS AFTER THE CINEMATIC SUCCESS OF JOKER, THIS COMIC SHOWS THE TRUE PSYCHE OF THE CLOWN PRINCE OF CRIME. At Arkham Asylum, many of Batman's greatest enemies are held – and among them the most dangerous of all, the Joker. No psychologist or psychotherapist has ever managed to overcome the madness that has taken over the Joker's mind. In fact, many have been crushed in their attempts. But Dr. Ben Arnell knows he is different. He is sure he will find the man hiding behind the madness – and heal him. Dr. Arnell believes he can easily resist the seductive void behind the Joker's eyes. And he is absolutely certain that whatever he experiences in his work, he will be able to keep the darkness away from his family. He is very, very wrong. The Eisner Award-winning creative duo Jeff Lemire and Andrea Sorrentino (Green Arrow, Gideon Falls) present Joker: Killer Smile, a terrifying story of psychological horror that explores the madness of one of the complex supercriminals of the ninth art — and the family man who will risk everything to gaze into the abyss. "Joker: Killer Smile is a chilling account of how the Joker can corrupt the human mind, which haunts you." -But Why Tho? "This particular comic has the feel of a psychological thriller rather than a superhero book." -The Pop Break
