A fragile gem from the 1990s Argentine comic scene, this low-quality Perfil edition of BATMAN Grandes Historias: La Broma Asesina stands in stark contrast to the deluxe reprints and artist editions you can also find in Libreria Publica. Printed on cheap paper and handled countless times in childhood, its value lies not in production but in memory. This version of the classic by Alan Moore and Brian Bolland captures a moment in time—when collecting comics in Argentina meant chasing masterpieces on a kid´s budge. A relic of a formative era, worn but unforgettable.

Alan Moore revolutionized the comic form by infusing it with political critique, literary ambition, and structural experimentation. Works like Watchmen, V for Vendetta, and From Hell challenged genre conventions while dissecting the very nature of storytelling. Often controversial and always uncompromising, Moore’s writing fuses mysticism, anarchism, and historical theory into dense, symbol-laden narratives. His influence is felt far beyond comics, reshaping how sequential art is perceived culturally and critically. Rejecting mainstream constraints, he remains a key figure in the elevation of comics as a serious artistic medium.
