Synopses & Reviews
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 material originally published in three (now out of print) thin European style "graphic albums" during the 1980s and 1990s, plus a few extras. Presented in the same deluxe format as the now sold-out (for which a softcover release is planned for 2011) and , offers up an even dozen tales of murder, suicide, oppression, terror, mutilation, crime, marital strife, and nuclear annihilation.
Review
[A] nicely timed reminder that Thomas Ott has been one of the world's most interesting cartoonists for a quarter century now. ... As juvenilia goes, this stuff is ridiculously good. ... [T]he impeccably produced R.I.P. is a very valuable collection, and deserves to be on the bookshelf of any serious horror comics fan. --Bart Beaty
