Boneyard goes from strength to strength. This sixth black and white collection features more frantic antics of a decent young guy who inherited a cemetery with an extremely engaging – and lively -gang of goblins, monsters and weirdoes in situ.
Michael Paris is developing much more than a crush on Abbey the Hot Vampire Chick, but life – and unlife – is made really complicated by an over-amorous fish-woman, the jock (think “Grease†not Glasgow) werewolf and all the assorted demons and monsters he’s nominally responsible for.
Nevertheless he’s finally summoned up the courage to ask her for a date when pernicious fate sticks out another hobnail-booted foot for him to trip over. That’s how he ends up attending a formal ball held by the Over-God with the power and duty to eradicate all misbehaving supernatural creatures. And then somebody spiked his date’s drink…
Charming, touching and wickedly funny, this is one of the best comics comedies of the last thirty years and should be on everybody’s bookshelf.
