The Joker: The Joker is my favorite Batman villian. I've just started to collect Joker comics again and am enjoying it and this is definitely a nice addition. I'm very picky with the way the Joker is drawn. Sometimes he has too big of a smile and doesn't even look human, but he looks good in a lot of these cartoons.
Surprisingly good: This is again one of those collections that proves 'old' comics (from the 40's-60's) don't neccesarilly have to be corny. The stories in this collection about the best (for me) Batman villain there is are all pretty enjoyable and some of them even very surprising as in aspects of storytelling and outcome. There some great stuff in here (also some mediocre, but can't win them all) with even some work of the great Neal Adams, the man who redefined the look of the Joker. Everyone who likes Batman comics will probably like this collection. A welcome addition to my collection at the very least.
See the Best of the clown prince of crime!: I loved this book. The beggining comics are genius. The later ones can be crude I wouldn't advise this book for children under 10.But if your looking for the best this is it! Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha!
You'll laugh, you'll....laugh, you'll........laugh more...: Most of the stories in this book are a hillarious example of how corny comics were in the 1940's. Great stuff, you'll smile all through it. Unfortunetly, one of the last and most critically acclaimed Joker stories in the book, the Joker Fish, isn't what I expected. I found Dennis O'Neil's writing style to be overly worded and, well, dull. I could barely finish it. But that can't ruin the wild ride into the past you'll get from the old stuff.
WARNING: IT'S A COMIC BOOK: This is a COMIC book! It would have been nice to know that, since I was expecting something to READ, not a CARTOON picture book for children. If a comic is what you want, get it.
