Maakies

Rating:
Summary: Caustic, morbid, and hilarious
Review: Tony Millionaire's MAAKIES is a nonpareil in comics -- the wittiest, most surreal dark humor I've seen since Elzie Segar's Popeye. There is nothing arch or arty about this stuff either -- it will offend and scandalize the pure of heart as sublime comics should. The draughtsmanship is breathtaking, on a par with anything Hal Foster (of Prince Valiant fame) or Walt Kelly ever did, but that's the least of it. The wit is gin-soaked and angry, shot through with genuine pathos and not a thimbleful of sentiment. By the time you encounter Uncle Gabby the ape charging a platoon of Napoleonic alligators with his head on fire, yelling "I'm a barrel full of hate boys, open me up!" you'll know if this painful hangover cure is for you or if you'd rather just curl up and gurgle with "Mutts Vol II."

Summary: An Extended Cosmology for Millionaire
Review: Tony Millionaire's vision is equal parts Albrecht Durer, Roy Crane, and Lee Marvin. This book is alternately lyrical, tender, savage, sweet, and extremely, extremely funny all throughout. He is a great artist, as anyone who reads the New Yorker knows.I cannot reccommend this book enough.
