| The Book Of Deady Volume 1 by Sirius Entertainment My kind of comic book | I've never been one for reading comic books. But when I saw this one I just had to buy it. I have personally met the man who wrote it. He is a very funny guy. I've seen him perform live twice and he will have your ribs aching by the end of the show. If you're still one of those people who believe that it's a sin to smile or laugh while you're at a Goth club, if Voltaire is there you just can't help it. This is one sin that you will be guilty of.
This is a very good graphic novel. He has a new Deady graphic novel coming out soon and I plan on getting that one too. | | The Book Of Deady Volume 1 by Sirius Entertainment The grooviest teddy bear you'll ever find. | Voltaire isn't just creator of comic Oh My Goth!, author of books such as Paint it Black: A Guide to Gothic Homemaking, and a musician with black hair who happens to be the wet dream of goths all over the world.
He's also the creator of Deady the Evil Teddy; a cute little teddy bear that has become possessed by the greatest evil this galaxy of ours has to offer: Urkor Malravenus from planet Necronus, who stranded on Earth in the disguise of this cute little teddy decides to wreak havoc on mankind.
The Book of Deady consists of the three first Deady comics, and I guess the best way to describe it is to name it an orgy of laughter. But it's not just funny, it's satirical too, and things such as Hellraiser, Star Wars, The Crow, and more are all featured in one way or another in the adventures of Deady. The satire is uncompromising yet never disrespectful, and Voltaire sure knows how to twist and turn things.
For example, every fan of the Hellraiser mythology will laugh him or herself stupid at "Deady in Hellrazor", a story that itself justifies the purchase of this volume, about Deady and his meeting with the Stenobites, led by Paperclip Head and his colleagues Keyboard Mouth and Post-It Face, at a sci-fi convention. If you know your Hellraiser you'll probably pass out from laughter - as I almost did - when you discover Post-It Face trying to be menacing by saying: "We have such power-point presentations to show you..."
Clive Barker, the creator of the Hellraiser saga, obviously don't mind the whole thing, since he's one of the contributors to the volume. But Barker isn't the only contributor though, and the long list of other contributors will hopefully give The Book of Deady all the attention it deserves.
But as with most other comic anthologies, not every single part of it is equally good, but the great majority of the content turns out to be masterpieces of comedy and satire.
So what are you waiting for? Go get it immediately or Deady might show up in your home, barbequing your kitten and seducing your sister...
