The Joker has come a long way since his first appearance in 1940. Initially a psycopath with a warped sense of humor, Joker became more of slapstick prankster for several decades before eventually settling on his final, dark form as Batman's arch-nemesis. Incredibly polarizing as a character, you'd be hard pressed to find someone who hasn't heard of him. Especially with the introduction of several new movie versions in the last decade, the Clown Prince of Crime is bigger than ever. FPNYC has a wide variety of comics and graphic novels for mega fans, or people looking to find out more. There's also a large selection of figures and merchandise, so make sure to check those out.
