YUMMY FUR 4 COMIC BOOKS CHESTER BROWN ED THE HAPPY CLOWN VAMPIRE AUTOBIOGRAPHY!!
YUMMY FUR 4 COMIC BOOKS. CHESTER BROWN
OUT OF PRINT. HARD TO FIND COLLECTOR'S ITEM
Published by VORTEX COMICS
Yummy Fur was published by Vortex, the same folks who brought out the enigmatic Mister X. As such, it shouldn’t be a surprise that Yummy Fur is both thought-provoking and incredibly hard to describe. It’s a blend of slapstick, grotesques, empathy, and scatology. Its stories freely mix secret agents from alternate Earths with spontaneously exploding women and cannibalism. Sometimes, it seems that the whole point of the series is to cheese off the establishment. Its tackling of religion in “Mark” is a prime example of this.
A challenging, and somewhat obscure series, Yummy Fur comes recommended by such comics cognoscenti as Neil Gaiman (Sandman).
Featuring Ed the Happy Clown, Autobiographical material and Biblical adaptations of the New Testament.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
Also includes essays on each of the works presented in this issue!
