Catalogue note
Detailed catalogue note not recoverable from the accessible source state. The record is retained without inference.
Recovery note: Date promoted from the migrated canonical edition statement: Deluxe Edition, 17th printing, 2 March 2016. Alan Moore and Brian Bolland are verified against DC's publisher record for the Deluxe Edition. Whole-collection audit assigns 7.0: canonical underlying work and meaningful Bolland recoloured Deluxe format, but this exact copy is a much later 17th printing.
Legacy record ID: GN-034
Why this object matters
The seventeenth-printing Killing Joke deluxe edition is a useful documented later presentation of Moore/Bolland's influential work. Its artistic and edition-comparison value survives its replaceability, but it receives no original-1988 or first-printing premium.
Evidence limits: No new physical inspection or collation was performed. Copy-specific conclusions remain limited to the retained catalogue and accession evidence.
