Research notes and sources
Native 1600×2466 first-printing scan with green lettering and original DC bullet. No outer mat or photographic background. Natural print texture and intentional cream highlights preserved without recoloring. Brian Bolland cover art/colors are distinguished from John Higgins interior colors. A close-cropped Joker grins around a camera aimed at the reader, with one eye hidden by the lens.
