5.0 out of 5 stars
Bestiary of the bizarre, June 23, 2008
This review is from: Conluvio (Paperback)
This entertaining volume isn't a graphic novel (despite the quirky framing device) - and is rightfully subtitled as 'The Art of Ben Templesmith'. The book's 96 pages showcase the members of IPAG (Interdimensional Part-Time Assassins Guild), and it rapidly becomes clear that Ben Templesmith is one very twisted, very funny man.
Although a few of the cast are 'legitimate' characters, most are quirky, creative takes on comic book, film and science fiction archetypes.
Even the most serious and dramatic picture has a slightly cocked eyebrow in the caption.
Very good fun and a surprisingly absorbing read. Oddly, I'd recommend it to role-players and game designers as well as comic book fans, art geeks and black-humored souls.
