Editorial Reviews
From Booklist
The third arc of Moore's cheery "horror" comic book rings more changes on the theme of the rent party. The big boxing match in Boneyard, v.2 (2003) having failed to raise what Michael Paris needs for taxes on his cemetery full of jolly monsters, a cheesecake photo-book project proceeds apace. This calls for the Boneyarders to decamp for the beach, but not to worry: Michael's vampire inamorata, Abbey, can bear the sun, thanks to 2,000 years of building tolerance--and liberal laving of 100 percent sunscreen. Many mildly amusing beach jokes later, this fund-raising scheme flops, too, throwing the bail-out ball back in the court of scheming Realtor Roxanne Allen, who once tried to buy the cemetery but now seems bent on seducing Michael away from Abbey. Of course, there's a showdown catfight comin', in which Roxanne shows her true colors. Hardly as funny as Boneyard, v.2, this installment succeeds as much as it does because of charming characters, amiable atmosphere, and Moore's cute, curvy drawing style. Ray Olson

5.0 out of 5 stars
Mixes humor with very practical problems,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Boneyard, Vol. 3 (Boneyard (Graphic Novels)) (Paperback)
Boneyard Volume Three is the third graphic novel in Richard Moore's horror spoof. Following the adventures of a fairly ordinary young man who inherits a cemetery filled with supernatural tenants - including a lascivious sea-woman, her Frankenstein-like husband, stone gargoyles who are none too good at surfing, and a beautiful 2,000-year-old vampire named Abbey - Boneyard mixes humor with very practical problems, even for seemingly supernatural beings. The IRS is threatening to foreclose on their home, and to raise sufficient funds, our heroes attempt to create and sell a swimsuit special featuring the lovely beauties at the beach (with an extra dose of SPF 1000 for Abbey). But there are fiends far worse than the taxman at work, culminating in a deadly showdown between Abbey and an even more ancient and powerful entity - the one who made her a vampire and knows the gruesomely horrific details of her painful past, millennia ago. Although a parody of modern horror media, Boneyard is far more than a gag story; it mixes humor and drama to fine blend and is one of the finest independent comics currently being published. Also very highly recommended and a "must" for Richard Moore fans are Boneyard Volume One and Boneyard Volume Two.

Donning Swimsuits to Save the Graveyard,
By
This review is from: Boneyard, Vol. 3 (Boneyard (Graphic Novels)) (Paperback)
Michael Paris still needs to raise money to pay his taxes. The "swimsuit issue" is a go and Paris and the gang head for the beach where Glum will handle the shooting. The shooting and the Swimsuit Issue are handled with Moore's typical humor as is quite well done.
But there is more to this collection than sexing otherworldly beings in next-to-nothing. A certain seductress shows up and tries to sink her claws into Paris. Paris and Abbey play a little cat and mouse as they start to be honest about their feelings. The past of some of the characters comes up as well as more information on the Devil's current plans regarding said cast. The series is continuing nicely and even the swimsuit issue did not detract from advancing the various plot lines. Clean art and storytelling make this an enjoyable addition to the series.
