Product Description

You won't believe your eyes...

...when you peek inside Holy Sh*t! at some of the wildest, most depraved stories ever told.  These outrageous comics are guaranteed to offend and amuse! 

Some of the rare treasures you will encounter are Presidents who become muscle-bound superheroes, cavemen who fight giant tabby cats, and a peasant-girl who fervently worships the swastika.  But . . . are you ready for Russia's busty bombshell Octobriana? What about getting your groove on with Mod Love? How about scaring your kid sister with the flesh-eating animals in The Barn of Fear?  And if you can stomach these, you might want to try Amputee Love, Fatman the Human Flying SaucerTales of the Leather Nun, and many, many more.

4.0 out of 5 stars good to have, January 1, 2009
this book contains the front covers of the worlds weirdest comics as well as a hisory and explination of the comic. only downside is i thought it was going to be a little bigger. you can skim through it in about half an hour. good read though

3.0 out of 5 stars adult content, November 8, 2008
This is a fun book with synopsis on the left and full color covers on the right. The size is smaller than your normal comic, so the covers have been cut down a little. I can't believe I only had two of these comics in my collection--SCARFACE and TALES OF THE LEATHER NUN.
