Wormwood Volume 1

Very darkly funny. Well written and very imaginative. How can you not like a corpse being driven by a worm who likes beer?

perfect state fantastic comic book - ben templesmith is a genious and his type of drawing is unique and world known

Ben Templesmith is probably most popular for his work on 30 days of night and Fell (and to a lesser degree other titles such as criminal macabre). This title continues his work within the horror genre, but this time with a rather funny twist.Far from the side puns from work like Fell, Wormwood is a lot more all out with the humour, and focuses on Wormwood - a maggot with a penchant for understatement, a love for alcohol and a snappily dressed corpse to walk around in, Mr. Pendulum - his robotic drinking buddy, and Phoebe, his ex-"dancer" employee in their various escapades fighting plants that spore from people, evil demon summoning cults of monsters, and going to the pub.The humour does tend to be fairly dark (It'd have to be, seeing as the main character is effectively a corpse), but I would definitely recommend this for anyone even mildly curious. This is a real gem.

A quality hardback binding of the masterpiece that is Wormwood. If you love corpse-hosting space worms and dark humour, swilled down with a nice pint then this book is a must buy.
