Generally, *Batman* #197 (1985), featuring the first appearance of the Joker's new origin story by Alan Moore, consistently ranks highest. Its value stems from Moore's influential work, the iconic character, and its relatively low print run in high grade. Demand from both comic collectors and fans of the Joker drives prices up significantly.
