Rip Hc Best of 1985 - 2004

This omnibus collection of Thomas Ott's short shock-ending horror stories -- imagine E.C. Comics done with no words, and executed in an impossibly lush black-and-white scratchboard style -- collects a dozen stories originally published in three (now out of print) thin European style "graphic albums" (Tales of Error, Greetings from Hellville and Dead End) during the 1980s and 1990s, plus 8 previously uncollected tales, including "The Breakdown" from Fantagraphics' Mome anthology and Ott's collaboration with French great David B., "La Fiancee du Lapin." The book also features an afterword by rocker Martin Eric Ain, a.k.a. Martin Erich Stricker (Hellhammer, Celtic Frost).
