I can't find Batman:The Man Who Laughs anywhere!

[circa81]

I've look at online bookstores that deal in rare and out of print books, and I STILL can't find it! It's really annoying, cause I REALLY wanna read this. Does anyone know where I might find this for sale online? Thanks ahead of time.

eBay is just about the only place you can find it anymore.

 

[MaskedManJRK]

I know--I honestly think DC just decided not to print them anymore.

I know--I honestly think DC just decided not to print them anymore.

That's exactly what they did.

 

[Two-Face]

I have it but I don't WANT to sell it.

 

[Kevin Roegele]

It's pretty forgettable. Pleasing however that it ties in to both the original Joker story and the Red Hood stuff.

 

[ChrisBaleBatman]

I thought it was a good read. Kinda felt like the finale could have been more exciting, but a good read.

Try ebay, but you have to be prepared to bid HIGH!
I eventually won it (paid £20- not sure of the US equivelent- $45?), but it was the only time I was willing to pay so much for a book!

The only way to get it now is to find someone that has a copy... and declare Mortal Kombat on them.

I'm hopin for a second printing around the time The Dark Knight comes out.

 

[Motown Marvel]

you shoulda bought it when it came out.

That would be sweet. Who knows how likely it is, but I'd welcome it.

 

[Kraven]

Yeah, I really should've, but to be honest I only started reading Batman comics around the second half of the Red Hood storyline. When did this come out originally?

I know that if DC was anything like Marvel they would. Marvel plans quite a bit to coincide with the films. Also, I've heard that Nolan is using that issue as inspiration for the movie, so that should help the odds.

 

[Mister J]

I believe it was released in February '05.

actually, Nolan is using the very first Joker story ever as his inspiration for The Dark Knight, although they do have some parallels

Try www.isohunt.com and search for it there.

Well, DC recenty reprinted Gotham By Gaslight and it's sequel, if they reprinted that, I wouldn't worry about Man Who Laughs.

In that case...

I declare Mortal Kombat on Two Face. GIVE ME THE BOOK NOW OR FACE THE WRATH OF....something...I just don't know what it is yet.

Now that's a classic.

 

[SpideyInATree]

What's Gotham by Gaslight about? I've never heard of that before.

 

[Kraven]

I think that's the elseworld one where he takes on Jack the Ripper, or something along those lines.

 

[SpideyInATree]

Hmmm, sounds interesting. I've never heard of that story before.

You should have! Victorian style Batman investigating the Jack the Ripper murders, and it has art by Mike Mignola! What more could you want?

 

[SpideyInATree]

Well, there's plenty I could want.

But I'm going to have to put that on my "to buy" list for the holidays and check that bad boy up.

The second story, while from the same writer, isn't as good and does not feature any Mignola art.

Fun fact; Gotham by Gaslight was the first DC elseworld story.
