Back in the 1970s,
probably in Regina but maybe in Lethbridge I was at someone’s place and they
offered to let me look at comics. I asked if there were any superhero comics
and they said no. I looked through them
and… well, sin the most literal sense they were right. However, there was a
super-villain comic, The Joker who
actually had his own series in the 1970s.
And he was fighting a hero in that issue (the Creeper). So I ended up reading that one. I did find it
odd though that the owner didn’t consider the Joker to be a superhero title,
apparently because it focused on the villain.
As for the series, it’s not spectacular, and it’s odd that a series came
out with a non-lethal Joker at a time when the Joker started to become more
lethal in Batman-featured titles. Still, it’s a fun little series that might
have lasted a few more years had it not gotten caught in the so-called DC
Implosion.
