Arvid Nelson talks about Joker’s Asylum

June 18th, 2008 · No Comments · Comics

This summer DC Comics tells the story of Batman’s Rogue’s Gallery through new eyes: The Joker. That’s the key to the five one-shots coming out weekly under the umbrella title of The Joker’s Asylum in July. But there’s one in which the Joker is more than a mere narrator, acting as the lead and the voice of it all. The story in The Joker’s Asylum: The Joker is entitled “The Joker’s Mild” and comes from the team of writer Arvid Nelson and artist Alex Sanchez.

This is the writer’s latest work for DC Comics, having come to this point with strong work on Rex Mundi and the recent Zero Killer series at Dark Horse. Nelson describes The Joker’s Asylum: The Joker as a “seventies” tale, in which the Joker takes over a television game show and terrorizes the contestants. “It’s basically the birth of reality TV in Gotham City,” Nelson said.
