A BIRTHDAY TRIBUTE to one of the greats…
The late, great Jerry Robinson was born 104 years ago, on Jan. 1, 1922.
Among his many contributions to the comics art form, he’s best known for co-creating Robin and the Joker.
The Golden Age Joker was always a creepshow, whether pencilled or inked by Robinson — but that guy’s got nothing on the version the artist sketched in his later years. (He died in 2011.)
To celebrate Robinson’s birthday, we present 13 pieces that were sold through Heritage Auctions over the years.
Each one is nightmare fuel — and the Joker wouldn’t have it any other way.
