Disturbing is not even the wordBy I. SchaefferA look into madness.If serials killers and animal mutilation creeps you out, don't read this. I wouldn't be surprised is someone vomited once after reading this. It was more disturbing than I thought it would be but the art is very interesting. It's definitely unique and is extremely dark and twisted.The mother is an interesting character, though you know little about here besides her husband is long dead. The overall point of this comic? I really think it's creepy for the sake of being creepy. The boys are obsessed with their horrid devices and everything else is meaningless. They're really weird and how the younger brother becomes a bedridden bloated mass I will never know.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Amazing and shocking at the same timeBy M. T. CrenshawWhat What What?! WTF!The Squirrel Machine is a BW graphic novel set in 19th century New England, structured in four parts, through which we see the Torpor Brothers go from teens to old people in a non-linear narrative.This novel has everything I want in a graphic book to be memorable: good graphics, great dose of imagination, uniqueness in style and story, they tease my emotions and/or my intellect, and the story keeps me thinking well after I finish the book.

Abandoned Cars is Tim Lane’s first collection of graphic short stories, noir- ish narratives that are united by their exploration of the great American mytho- logical drama by way of the desperate and haunted characters that populate its pages. Lane’s characters exist on the margins of society—alienated, floating in the void between hope and despair, confused but introspective. The writing is straightforward, the stories mainstream but told in a pulpy idiom with an existential edge, often in the first person, reminiscent of David Goodis’s or Jim Thompson’s prose, or of films like Pick-Up on South Street or Out of the Past. Visually, Lane’s drawing is in a realistic mode, reminiscent of Charles Burns, that heightens the tension in stories that veer between naturalism on the one hand and the comical, nightmarish, and hallucinatory on the other. Here, American culture is a thrift store and the characters are thrift store junkies living among the clutter. It’s an America depicted as a subdued and haunted Coney Island, made up of lost characters—boozing, brawling, haplessly shooting themselves in the face, and hopping freight trains in search of Elvis.

So Much PotentialBy David SwanAl Columbia is one of the most enigmatic cartoonists alive and this collection will only add to his mystery. This book contains no story, only ideas and sketches pulled together and presented with some attempt to produce a very loose narrative. Collected here are the raw and disturbing images from the mind of an artist with seemingly no boundaries. If you've ever read anything by Columbia you'll know that he really doesn't do any self censorship and if anything this book is tamer than much of what he has produced. Columbia is generally characterized as such a perfectionist that his productivity is almost non- existent. This book would definitely back up that theory since many of these drawings are absolutely stunning and would only need some slight cleanup to be presented to the public in an actual story. As someone with a small bit of background in graphic design it saddens me to see pictures that clearly took many hours to create torn and taped back together.If the book did have a theme you might say it's the loss of innocence.
