Brilliantly Depressing or Depressingly Brilliant - I'm not sure,
By Ricky Pooski "cool" (Texas) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Like a Dog (Hardcover)
Man. This is one hell of a book. I didn't have much hope for it at the beginning since most of the early material is from old zines and consists of creepy illustrations that make you think that you're reading a medical book on the ravages of syphilis. THere's a terrifically distancing technique used for an end of the world 'everyone goes to hell' story in which the narration is all through a film criticism perspective.The post zine material is much better and it shows some of the darkest most disturbing artwork since The Scream. This isn't the cute morbidity of Johnny The Homicidal Maniac: Director's Cut. This man makes an illustrated adaptation of "River Deep, Mountain High" where it looks like the lovers are alternately desperate and drowning. The best parts of the book are the story of "The Man who killed Wally Wood" and the story of Dostoyevsky's imprisonment and near execution. Great illustrations and great grim material. Definitely recommended. |
