The Batman Who Laughs: The Grim Knight #1 (Raw VF/NM) - DC Universe (Jock Main Cover)

Add a key Dark Multiverse origin issue to your catalog with The Batman Who Laughs: The Grim Knight #1, published by DC Comics under the DC Universe banner in May 2019! Written by superstar creators Scott Snyder and James Tynion IV with gritty interior artwork by legendary artist Eduardo Risso and colors by Dave Stewart, this landmark one-shot reveals the terrifying origin story of Bruce Wayne’s most lethal alternate incarnation.

The top red banner prominently displays the series tie-in header "THE BATMAN WHO LAUGHS", while the upper-left corner features the DC Universe bullet logo, issue marker (1), price ($4.99), rating (RATED T+ / TEEN PLUS), Bat-symbol, and creator credits (Snyder / Tynion IV / Risso / Stewart). The lower-left corner highlights the iconic tagline: "THE ORIGIN OF THE MOST DANGEROUS DARK KNIGHT OF ALL!" above the direct edition barcode.

The grim, highly atmospheric main cover art—illustrated by acclaimed artist Jock (signed Jock near the bottom-right corner)—depicts a heavily armed Grim Knight silhouette perched on a rooftop against a blood-red moon, surrounded by a swarm of bats and lit by a harsh red targeting laser.

This unslabbed raw issue is in high-grade condition (estimated VF/NM 9.0 or better), featuring sharp corners, clean edges, and strong color contrast—making it an essential pickup for Dark Nights: Metal, Batman Who Laughs, and Scott Snyder completionists.
