I was curious to see how the rest of the story looked so when I saw this Absolute Edition had both versions AND Alan Moore's script, I pre-ordered this. I read Brian Bolland's blurb and how he recolored it but I did not expect THAT big a difference. It wasn't until years later that I saw pictures online of The Killing Joke in its original colors and it floored me. It did not disappoint and time has done little to tarnish my love for it (it probably works best as a finale to Batman rather than just plopped as normal in the timeline but it still works as is for me :) ). I knew of its reputation and bought it and read at home. I'm not the biggest reader of comics so it wasn't until I was 20-21 when I read The Killing Joke when I saw the then new edition on a bookstore shelf in 2008-9.
