Hey Jokerholics,
Right from this month’s PREVIEWS CATALOG….our prayers have been answered.
I don’t know who came with the idea, but I want to hug him/her/them and give them a big wet kiss. It was about time in my opinion. I mean, if Batman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, and Superman can have their own mythology/story etc book, why not the most famous villain of all time?? This month’s PREVIEWS announced the publishing of a book dedicated only to…

Hi — thanks so much for spotlighting the upcoming Joker book! I just wanted to point out that the credit info is incorrect; I’m actually the writer on the book, and we were lucky enough to get an introduction for the book from Mark Hamill. The cover has also been updated — here’s a link to the final version: http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i130/danwall88/JokerRizzolicover.jpg
I have an advance copy and it’s gorgeous! It’s scheduled to hit stores in October.
Thanks a million for the note, Dan. Thank Previews catalog to mix up the credits on your book and sorry for not confirming the info somewhere else. Anyways, I fixed the credits, and posted the new picture you linked me. I appreciate you took the time to write, and being so nice about it. Hope you will continue enjoying the site in the future.
