Johnny the Homicidal Maniac

(Slave Labor, 1995-1997)
™ and ©1995 Jhonen Vasquez

If you like black humor, Johnny the Homicidal Maniac is about as darkly funny as you can get. The whole thing reads like a manic Vincent Price movie—the sort of thing where the monster is having altogether too much fun.

Nobody knows what it was that sent Johnny over the edge, but he’s definitely there now. He lives in house #777, decorated with parts of his victims, a bunny nailed to the wall, and even an evil Pillsbury doughboy cookie jar. When none of them are busy talking to Johnny, he raves on to himself, contemplating suicide routinely before being distracted by a really good commercial on television. It’s the combination of murderous intensity and sudden banality that makes for much of this book’s humor.
