One of the most visually striking Joker covers ever produced. This is Joker: Year of the Villain #1 graded CGC 9.8 White Pages — the pinnacle of comic book condition — featuring the exclusive Scorpion Comics Edition B variant with a breathtaking cover by Clayton Crain.
The cover is a masterpiece: the Joker rendered as a playing card, pointing a gun directly at the viewer with a wild grin, blood-spatter details, and bullet holes punched through the card. It's menacing, iconic, and unmistakably Crain. Sealed forever in a CGC slab, this copy is preserved at its absolute best.
