The Greatest JOKER Stories Ever Told

Really enjoyed this book, It is a collection of various comics featuring The Joker published between 1940's - 1980's. I really enjoy these sample of the times stories from various periods with the 80's being my favorite decades as it takes The Joker back to his original murderous intent. The book is a rare time capsule look into how the stories were over the years and the influences that still exist today. 

The stories are fun and gripping and contains the well know classic Joker tale "The Laughing Fish". This was such a rare find as it was originally published in 1988.
The Greatest Stories Ever Told is always to great gift as to someone special.
