Since today is Scavenger Hunt day for me and my JOKER’S LAIR, I just found myself another treasure. This nice piece of art comes from CBR and is done by Nick Perks in aswer to the Tweeter: “Who knows what evil lurks in the heart of the Joker? Only the Shadow knows:
Do you guys realize that these two are about the same age? Joker was created inn 1939-40 for the Batman #1 issue while the Shadow revealed its career as detective on July 31, 1930 as the mysterious voice narrating the radio show THE DETECTIVE HOUR. That would make them what…75-85 years respectively? (not taking into account that they were already grown up characters on their 20-30s). Boy, they look good on their golden years, don’t they? Awesome art, no doubt.
What do you think about this pairing? (I think that it is at least better than the pairing of Joker and Sherlock Holmes they did on the Clown Prince’s miniseries in the 1975-76, that is for sure.)
