Said to have been the biggest single influence on Chris Nolan and Heath Ledger for their iteration of The Joker in The Dark Knight, so that alone makes this worth taking a look at. A very compact story (that’s a polite way to say it) we get a peek into a possible origin for Joker’s embrace of anarchy, plus a view into his extreme sadism. Some nasty business, but presented with just enough good taste by Moore and company. The ending is nicely ambiguous.
