*Coulrophobia. The fear of clowns. Most people would laugh it off as silly or irrational, but to the citizens of Gotham City it is a fact of life. For Gotham is the playground of the Joker - archnemesis of the Batman, and if he smiles at you, it is the last thing you will see. In these thirteen tales, covering every decade since his first appearance, you will witness the Joker's madness grow. Whether he's portraying himself as a crime lord, a buffoon or a lunatic killer, every scheme has a punchline - though if you get it, you're most likely insane. *Source: Back Cover
