Description

Historic very 1st app ever of the Joker League of Anarchy...roll call: Harley Quinn, Lex Luthor, Bizarro, Enigma, Ignition, and the king himself Emperor Joker.

More importantly, for me, this is simply one of the best splash pages that I am lucky to have in my collection.

There is so much to adore...from the way each character is displayed...to the Harley staff that Emperor Joker is twirling...to the smallest details in each costume and the lovable Batman toy on the pillow.

This beauty was meticulously drawn by Duncan Rouleau back in 2000.

Mahalo to my fellow Rouleau fan (Will Gabriel) for motivating me to get off my okole and post this gem to my CAF gallery.

"It's a Joker World, Baby. We just live in it!"

What a wonderful splash! Emporer Joker holding court, with a panoply of colorful characters surrounding him,

"Remember, Lexy. No funny. No money." Hahahah!

Behold the King
The King of Kings
Anarchy arc
Ahahah
All hail

Bow down to the-, bow down to the King
Bow down to the-, bow down to-

The King grinned red as he sat in birth page
Where the Luthor lost both his name and his face
Through the halls and the Emperor singing for blood
He tasted his grin and it tasted good
The King joked instead
Rouleau Duncan again

Bow down to the-, bow down to Joking
Bow down to the-, bow down to Joking
Bow down to the-, bow down to-

I think you said it best. Historical significance + Great Image. Those two don't always go hand in hand.
