Byron: Mad, Bad, and Dangerous

    (Drunken Tiki, 2005-2006)
™ and © Drunken Tiki Comics

Writer/illustrator Karl Christian Krumpholz’ self-published little book about a sulky, goth-obsessed club kid with a Byron fixation, a deranged pair of sadists, and a two-headed baby in a jar of formalin should appeal to patient readers with a high tolerance for over-determined angst and non-linear narrative.

Name dropping both Jack Kirby and Anne Rice, this 24-page, black and white book revels in the influences of Golden Age pulp horror comics and that genre’s contemporary pop culture descendants.
