    Can't Top the Laughing Fish

    • If the Colonel can have his chicken, why can't the Joker have his fish?  They have his looks, his smile. That is the question writer Steve Englehart poses as The Joker manages to outsmart the Batman several times and reveals himself only (after he has killed enough of the employees’ of the copyright commission) when he is ready.
    Englehart concludes his brilliant run with this the 1st of a 2-part Joker-Fish story. Although his run lasted only 7 issues from issue #469- #476, it left an indelible mark on the way the Batman is to be done not to mention his villains. The art of Marshall Rogers doesn't hurt either especially with Terry Austin inking. The artwork is definitely inspired by the writing. “The Joker Fish" maybe first runner up for the best Joker story of the 70's.It’s definitely a classic and a must read for Batman fans. It can be found in the trade paperback Strange Apparitions"
