100% Evil

Hauptbeschreibung

In this simultaneously dark and hilarious book of drawings, renowned illustrators Nicholas Blechman, creative director of The New Yorker, and Christoph Niemann, a regular contributor to the same magazine, let loose all their visions of evil in today’s unpredictable world. In what comical forms does evil bear its ugly face? Gigantic worms boring their way through the globe? Pieces of a puzzle eating one another? The jets of a shower piercing the body of an unexpecting man beneath? A lone leaf fluttering to the ground before finally shattering? These and more delightfully incongruent images await us in 100% Evil, a satirical guide that embraces pain and laughter, the extraordinary and the banal, the good and the bad in equal measure.
