The Comtesse DeSpair (http://asylumeclectica.com) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Big Book of Bad: The Best of the Worst of Everything (Factoid Books) (Paperback)

Another excellent edition of the DC Comics' Factoid Press "Big Book" series. This one focuses on the bad guys/girls in history, including some real rotters! Excellent entertainment for the whole family!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excruciatingly good., February 8, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Big Book of Bad: The Best of the Worst of Everything (Factoid Books) (Paperback)

Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men? This book, published by the independent Factoid Books, goes through the ages of man, from Caligula to Sawney Bean. It also includes fictional works which have been incorporated into pop culture(such as Bram Stoker's Dracula). It even has a section in the end entitled "Bad Sports", which includes the steroid abuse of WWF manager Vince McMahon and Mike Tyson's fateful Evander Buffet in Las Vegas.

5.0 out of 5 stars "Bad" Is Good!, April 22, 2000

Jeffrey Plotkin - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Big Book of Bad: The Best of the Worst of Everything (Factoid Books) (Paperback)

Another gem from the crown of Paradox Press! This book examines just what it is to be bad. But we don't just see "bad" as evil: we also see "bad" as in "bad taste." Learn how each story needs a bad guy! And you'll also see how history has its share of bad guys as well! It takes good writers and artists to discuss "bad" like this!
