Compulsive Comics by Eric Haven

3.0

Another bizarre and utterly weird collection of comics, Compulsive Comics was full of offbeat, gruesome, and strangely compelling fun. One can never tell just what’s going to happen in these comedic pulp comic parodies, from a murderous anteater to reptoid fighting superheroes on top of active volcanoes. Not quite as strong as Haven’s earlier collection, UR, the highlights here include the self-deprecating I Killed Dan Clowes, though the comic adaptation of a chapter of G.K. Chesterton’s The Man Who Was Thursday (which I haven’t read) seemed a little arcane. Perhaps if I’d read it would have been more interesting.
