The Joker Cover Design Roughs and Final

Variations on the cover design for The Joker book.

The Joker is the third book that I have designed for Universe and DC Comics. Written by Daniel Wallace, edited by Robb Pearlman and Steve Korté, with an introduction by Mark Hamill, this book provides a look at the Joker’s sordid history through bloody piles of art and comics; a similar approach to the Wonder Woman book that I designed previously.
