Summary: A fascinating collection of stories
Review: A fantastic book! I bought this for one of my sons for Christmas, along with several other more print-oriented books. I'm not a diehard fan of books in comic format, but as I reviewed this upon arrival I was delighted to discover the depth of information provided. The wide variety of characters, the great expanse of historical periods covered and the different "genres" of loser subjects proved much more entertaining than I expected when I bought this book. Consider this one of the classier bathroom readers for the entire family!

Summary: A bit mean but funny anyhow
Review: I went to my local comics shop and saw the owner reading The Big Book of Losers. I asked to look at it, and I then know I must have it. The book is full of entertaining stories of people and bad ideas that were failures. It's quite entertaining reading the stories of people like the Dalton Gang, and Milli Vanilli, who deserve to be called losers. Unfortunately, some the people written about did not have the loser essence, but merely had some bad luck, or were held back by people who were more powerful and who were evil. These ones were not so funny. Overall, though, it is a good book, and worth reading

Summary: The funniest Big Book yet...
Review: This is the ninth book in our "Big Book" series, under the Paradox Press imprint. It is 175 pages of short stories about the world's most colossal failures and flops. Some examples include: General George Custer, Howard Hughes's "Spruce Goose," the Paper Dress, the Susan B. Anthony Dollar, Flying Cars, Carrie: The Musical, Yukio Mishima, and U.S. President James Garfield. And in case you didn't know--this is all in comics form! These scores of stories are drawn by the best comics artists we could find, including New Yorker, Playboy, and everywhere-else cartoonist Gahan Wilson; Peter Kuper, New York Times illustrator, political cartoonist, AND new artist on MAD's "Spy vs. Spy;" Joe Sacco, author and artist of the American Book Award-winning "Palestine;" and dozens more. The response to the series has been terrific, especially from people not familiar with comics, who have given it raves. "I didn't realize I would enjoy reading comics so much," or "There's so much interesting information and it was funny as hell!" are typical of the feedback from both readers and reviewers in The New York Times, Entertainment Weekly, and newspapers across the country. Pick up The Big Book of Losers and remind yourself that it's always better to know that someone is worse off than you! Note: Other "Big Books" include: The Big Book of Urban Legends, The Big Book of Weirdos, The Big Book of Death, The Big Book of Conspiracies, The Big Book of Freaks, The Big Book of Little Criminals, The Big Book of Hoaxes, and The Big Book of Thugs. Forthcoming: The Big Book of the Unexplained and The Big Book of Martyrs.
