In the comic books, no, he did not have scars.

In the comic books (with the exception of a few modern comic books based on the dark knight) he got his grin after falling into a vat of chemicals, which dyed his skin, hair, and disfigured his mouth into a grin.

How did Heath Ledger get his scars?

There is much speculation as to how the Joker character received his scars. The most prominent answer seems to be that he either doesn't know, or doesn't want to say. In "The Dark Knight" he tells two stories about how he got them:Story OneSo, I had a wife, she was beautiful...like you, who tells me I worry too much, who tells me I oughta smile more, who gambles and gets in deep with the sharks...[she squirms, and he pulls her back] Hey. One day they carve her face. And we have no money for surgeries. She can't take it. I just want to see her smile again. Hmmm? I just wanted to let her know that I don't care about the scars. So, I stick a razor in my mouth and do this...to myself. [mimes moving a razor around his mouth] And you know what? She can't stand the sight of me! She leaves! Now I see the funny side. Now, I'm always smiling!Story Two"Wanna know how I got these scars? My father was...a drinker. And a fiend. And one night he goes off crazier than usual. Mommy gets the kitchen knife to defend herself; he doesn't like that. Not...one...bit. So, me watching, he takes the knife to her, laughing while he does it. He turns to me, and says..."Why so serious?" He comes at me with the knife, "Why so serious?!" He sticks the blade in my mouth, "Let's put a smile on that face!" And...[turns to look at one of Gambol's henchman who looks terrified, and then says]...why so serious? "Some have said that the exact reason for his scars is not as important as the reasons for the use of multiple stories. These scars may represent the result of some form of evil - or even a universal evil that exists in the world.In Alan Moore's "The Killing Joke," the first comic book to really explore the Joker's origin, the Joker explains his inability to correctly remember his past this way: "Sometimes I remember it one way, sometimes another ...

Well one day he comes across batman and finds his true challenge and decides to pursue it. So to go about challenging himself he kidnaps batman's girlfriend at the time. As batman is going to rescue her the joker kills her, batman seeing his loved one die in front of him throws two batarangs at the joker, cutting the sides of his mouth, giving him his scars.Later in the same comic the joker is at a pharmaceutical plant for some reason. Some how he is knocked into a silo full of anti-depressants. The joker decides to accept death, and just before he's about to die he sees the grate in the bottom. It crosses his mind that he doesn't have to die, so he kicks out the grate and flows through the pipes that dump him out in the bay. The joker then swims ashore, his skin bleached white, his hair turned green, and his suit dyed purple. Laying on the shore he looks at the moon and sees a bunny on it. From then on the joker becomes the psychopath we all love.

Are any of Michael Morpurgo's stories real?

* Most of Michael Morpurgo's books are based on true events. An example is "Out of the Ashes," which was about foot and mouth disease.
