THE MANY DEATHS OF SCOTT KOBLISH by Scott Koblish


THE MANY DEATHS OF SCOTT KOBLISH is a collection of comics by the author, Scott Koblish, that feature him dying in a myriad of different ways. There is no dialogue in these comics and the "stories" are all told strictly through the pictures. Some of the deaths are realistic (such as falling down a mountain while skiing) and others are mundane (such as the one where he chokes to death while eating breakfast cereal). However, most of the deaths are more elaborate, bizarre, and downright surreal. A lot of the deaths are kind of morbid, but dripped in dark humor. Also, while most of the deaths are a page long, some of them run for several pages (such as when he's abducted by aliens or when he's stalked by his daughter's teddy bear). There's also a recurring demise that shows up several times, but in different versions. Overall, I enjoyed THE MANY DEATHS OF SCOTT KOBLISH. It's not a book everyone will like, but I enjoyed the dark humor of Scott's many deaths.
