Eric Haven takes an idiosyncratically weird approach to the horror genre of the Weird to produce a hybrid graphic novella that belongs to no genre but his own. Haven is a comics parodist of the highest order. His draftsmanship evokes some sort of sweet spot between '70s underground comix, '90s alt-comics, and classic serialized strips featuring strange creatures and square-jawed, Flash Gordon types. But his sensibilities, even more than the glorious art, are the real selling point. I don't think I've come across such an eclectic mix of hilarity and horror and wonderment.
