Clown

The Clown is a grotesque, wisecracking demon who serves as the earthly disguise of the villain Violator, a powerful hellspawn sent by the forces of Hell to manipulate and corrupt Spawn into fulfilling their dark agenda.

Few characters in Image Comics history have unsettled readers quite like Clown, the grotesque, wickedly sardonic figure who slithered onto the scene in Spawn #2 in 1992 — right at the dawn of Image's bold, boundary-pushing era. Over more than two decades, this sinister presence haunted the pages of Spawn, Hellspawn, and Violator, sharing those dark, visceral stories with the likes of Al Simmons, Wanda Blake, and Jason Wynn. With two key collector issues to their name and 58 catalog appearances across a 21-year run, Clown is far more than a supporting player — they're one of the defining menaces of Todd McFarlane's universe. If you love comics that revel in darkness with a twisted sense of humor, Clown is absolutely worth tracking down.
