Batman: The Killing Joke (Higgins & Bolland)

I posted this in the DC relaunch thread, but here's a thread anyway:

Hi all, I'd love to hear your thoughts on the classic Alan Moore tale "Batman: The Killing Joke". Even more than that, I'd be curious to hear your opinion on the coloring done by John Higgins and Brian Bolland.

My Absolute Edition of "The Killing Joke" arrived yesterday and I've fallen in love with the book all over again, after leaving it behind for over a decade. Aside from the gorgeous presentation of the Absolute line, and the concise yet layered execution of the story by Moore, my enjoyment was greatly bolstered by reading the book with the original coloring, done by Watchmen's John Higgins. Wow, if you ask me, Brian Bolland really screwed the pooch with his re-coloring of the book, which is the more common version to be found. I enjoy the book twice as much now with Higgins psychedelic canvas, as it compliments the insanity of the story.
