5.0 out of 5 stars
Nihilistic Fun,
By
This review is from: Hardboiled Defective Stories (Paperback)
Out of all of Burns' work, I don't consider this his best, but it is definitely the most fun. El Borbah, a character based upon El Santos, the star of popular Mexican Action films, is a fat dude in wrestling tights and mask who solves crimes and kicks ***. While the world runs down in chaos around him, El Borbah just wants to earn a buck fighting crime. Includes stories re. the next step after body-piercing, genetic engineering and fast food chains, and other sorts of weirdness. BUY THIS or the Fantagraphics reprint NOW!

bizzare SFnal detective comic book,
By johol@cix.compulink.co.uk (london) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Hardboiled Defective Stories (Paperback)
Designed to appeal to the peculiar, a nicely-realised world of weirdos torment our hero 'el borbah - man of steel' who appears to be a WWF wrestler with a job as a PI. pre-reminiscent of 'gun with occasional music'
