Catwoman isn’t the only Batman villain celebrating her 80th anniversary in 2020 but also the Clown Prince of Crime who, like Catwoman, debuted in 1940’s Batman No. 1 is also going to get a special comic book issue to celebrate his birthday.
April’s The Joker 80th Anniversary 100-Page Super Spectacular issue will feature original stories from a collection of creators with a link to the iconic Mr. J, including Denny O’Neil, Scott Snyder, Paul Dini, Lee Bermejo, Jock, Mikel Janin, and current Batman series writer James Tynion IV, behind a cover from former Batman and Metal artist Greg Capullo.
With other anniversary releases, the $9.99 issue will get released in a number of different editions, with covers showing each decade of the character’s existence. From the 1940s, the covers will come from Arthur Adams, David Finch, Francesco Mattina, Jim Lee, and Scott Williams, Bill Sienkiewicz, Gabriele Dell’Otto, Lee Bermejo, and Jock.
The Joker 80th Anniversary 100-Page Super Spectacular follows after the Catwoman 80th Anniversary 100-Page Super Spectacular, March’s Robin 80th Anniversary 100-Page Super Spectacular and the bigger 750th-anniversary issues for both Wonder Woman and the Flash, all of which announced for 2020 to date. The issue will get released on 29th April.
