The Batman Adventures: Mad Love


Paul Dini - 1993
    Then along came the animated Batman series. The visual style was totally unique: clean, sharp, and bold. Batman Adventures: Mad Love is an original comics story drawn in the style of the popular animated series. It's even put together by Paul Dini, a major force behind the animated show. This particular story involves Batman's old foe, the Joker, and Joker's cute but deadly sidekick, Harley Quinn. Actor Mark Hamill of Star Wars fame, who plays the voice of the Joker in the animated series, claims that this is one of his all-time favorite comics, calling it "bold, lusty, gleefully demented."

Angel Densetsu, Volume #1


Norihiro Yagi - 1993
    The story begins with him attending a new school, where nobody knows him... Because of his appearance, teachers and fellow classmen think he is the worst delinquent, "violence incarnate". They try to correct him, expel him, or beat him up. Lots of accidents don't help to fix the situation either, and he gains the guardian position at his school. But, because of his ultra-goodie attitude, some of those that attack him become his friends...All the misunderstandings make the story extremely funny.------------ Note that there is quite some violence & blood for a comedy manga, but the manga portrays it for comedic effect.
