Graphic Novel: Joker

I thought it would be a good idea to look at some graphic novels with similar art styles to what I wish to achieve for inspiration. I bought the graphic novel 'Joker' created by Brian Azzarello and Lee Bermejo mainly because I am a batman fan.

As the name suggests the graphic novel follows the character joker as he tries to regain his business after leaving a mental institution. I think it was n interesting and fresh concept to focus on the villain rather than the known hero.

The artistic direction is gritty to say the least. Within the first ten pages a man has his skin ripped off. The art style represents the characteristics of the joker perfectly and the narrative isn't bad either.
