商品の説明
内容説明
Penned with deranged glee by Powell and illustrated by fan-favorite horror artist Kyle Hotz ("The Agency" and "The Hood"), "Billy The Kid's Old Timey Oddities" starts with Billy the Kid free to roam America, having faked his own death. Free, that is, until Fineas Spoule, a.k.a. The Human Spider, discovers his secret. Now, afraid of being exposed, Billy finds himself in the service of a caravan of carnival sideshow performers who have unfinished business with a mad scientist none other than Victor Frankenstein himself! This twisted lovechild of spaghetti westerns and Hammer horror flicks combines Powell's humorous fast-paced storytelling and Hotz's quirky macabre visuals for a story that the whole family will love...if they're the kind of family that love alligator men and miniature boys fighting monstrous mistakes of science with the help of the fastest gunslinger in the West!

It's a Wild West Freak Horror, and it's pretty good!!
2011/12/23
形式:ペーパーバック
I had mixed feelings about picking up this book, but I'm glad I did. The artwork is very enjoyable and the characters are very intriguing. In reading the story it wasn't until the end of the book that the story really grew on me. No, it doesn't have your typical Eric Powell humor in it, but that's not what this story is trying to be. If you take it for what it is, and block out your "Goon" expectations of the book, then I think you will like it more. There is also some really great art in it that went well with the Wild West, Freak Show, Gothic feel to the book. Give it a honest try and by the end you will find yourself starting to get attached to some of the characters in the book.

H.P. Lovecraft's Wild West
2006/8/22
形式:ペーパーバック
William Henry McCarty, a.k.a. William H. Bonney, a.k.a Billy the Kid, was gunned down by lawman Pat Garrett in 1881. Or was he? Writer Eric Powell posits otherwise, working with the assumption that Garrett unknowingly killed the wrong man and Billy, wanting the law off his back, took the opportunity to change his name and disappear. In Powell's version of events, however, Billy doesn't just vanish into obscurity. Instead, he's recruited by a band of sideshow freaks (or "biological curiosities") to take on the vile Dr. Victor Frankenstein (whose death was also exaggerated) and his minions in Europe, where a valuable treasure awaits them.
"Billy the Kid's Old-Timey Oddities" is a hoot and a holler, a fun, yet vaguely disturbing book that blends Old West attitudes and gunslingin' with Old World atmosphere and a varied bag of macabre, malformed grotesqueries.
The story is illustrated along unsettling lines by Kyle Hotz and leads readers through a twisted tale filled with tentacles, decapitations, manacles, syringes, blood and other fluids. Let's hope there's more to come.

Disappointing
2007/1/24
形式:ペーパーバック|Amazonが確認した購入
When I first clapped eyes on the beautiful (supposed) cover by Eric Powell, I was sold. I'm a big fan of Westerns and of Powell's artwork and sense of humor, so this seemed like an easy sell.
The first bit of disappointment hit when I received the book. The cover was not the Powell cover that Amazon shows. Instead it was done by a different artist. This development lead quickly to more disappointment as I found that all of the art was done by this same guy. Now, he's not a terrible artist or anything, but I would have much rather seen Powell's art carry the story. I didn't care for the actual artist's style much.
More disappointment came when I found that the story had none of the Powell humor I came to love by reading his Goon series. And with a name like Billy the Kid's Old-Timey Oddities, you expect a bit of that humor.
I quickly turned around and sold the book to someone else, so no harm done. But I'd love to see Powell tackle a Western-themed book all by himself.
