One of the bestselling graphic novels of all-time finally gets the
Absolute treatment, as BATMAN: THE KILLING JOKE is presented in a
30th Anniversary hardcover slipcase edition! Critically acclaimed
writer Alan Moore redefined the super-hero with Watchmen and V for
Vendetta. In Batman: The Killing Joke, he takes on the origin of
comics' greatest super-villain, The Joker--and changes Batman's
world forever. Batman: The Killing Joke is Alan Moore's
unforgettable meditation on the razor-thin line between sanity and
insanity, heroism and villainy, comedy and tragedy.According to the
grinning engine of madness and mayhem known as The Joker, that's
all that separates the sane from the psychotic. Freed once again
from the confines of Arkham Asylum, he's out to prove his deranged
point. And he's going to use Gotham City's top cop, Commissioner
Jim Gordon, and his brilliant and beautiful daughter Barbara to do
it.Now Batman must race to stop his archnemesis before his reign of
terror claims two of the Dark Knight's closest friends. Can he
finally put an end to the cycle of bloodlust and lunacy that links
these two iconic foes before it leads to its fatal conclusion? And
as the horrifying origin of the Clown Prince of Crime is finally
revealed, will the thin line that separates Batman's nobility and
The Joker's insanity snap once and for all? Absolute Batman: The
Killing Joke collects Batman: The Killing Joke and stories from
Batman: Black and White #4, Countdown #31, Who's Who in the DC
Universe #13, with bonus material that includes Brian Bolland's new
colouring from the Deluxe Edition, the original John Higgins
colouring, all 128 pages of the script that has never been
published before, Brian Bolland's Joker covers and sketches,
previously unpublished Bolland Batman/Joker sketches and more!
V januári 1965 Gabriel García Márquez cestoval s rodinou na
dovolenku do Acapulca, keď odrazu dostal nápad. Začul vravu
mestečka Macondo. Už vedel, ako napíše svoj nový román. Vrátil sa
domov, zatvoril sa do pracovne, a keď z nej po osemnástich
mesiacoch vyšiel, v ruke držal 1 300 strán rukopisu a bol šťastný.
Román Sto rokov samoty prvý raz vyšiel v roku 1967, Márquez mal
vtedy 39 rokov a svet si navždy zapamätal jeho meno. Dnes je román
považovaný za jedno z najvýznamnejších diel latinskoamerickej a
svetovej literatúry. Je komponovaný z množstva reálnych aj
fantazijných epizód a rozpráva o pôvabných i krutých príhodách
šiestich generácií rodiny Buendíovcov z fiktívneho mestečka
Macondo.
