Glad to see you're back! (I've been saying that a lot lately...what's up with July is it just a bad month for everyone?)

I don't know if it was mentioned (I was studying while listening), but Brubaker's Batman: The Man Who Laughs is a really good joker story as well. It's in HC now, but it'll be in softcover soon as well.

I'm glad to see that they've got an updated Joker's Greatest Stories collection, but there are two stories I would have loved see get a bit more recognition:

"Hazard's Choice" from Action Comics #719 is a wonderful Dave Michelinie story (it's amazing how many of his stories stick with me through the years) in wich the Joker poisons Lois and the only way for Superman to get the antidote is by killing the Joker. A bit of a dilemma to say the least. Batman guest stars.

"Always Leave 'em Laughing" is a nice 3-parter from the Huntress back-ups in Wonder Woman #281-#283. I know these have appeared in the Huntress TPB, but they should be included in a Joker collection as well.
