Compulsive Comics collects the very best of Eric Haven's singular brand of inverted-comic-book-consciousness and genre-bending short stories. "The Glacier" is about a lone scientist making a startling discovery. The volume's most controversial story, "I Killed Dan Clowes," is an epic conflation of autobio and fantasy. While driving around Oakland, ruminating on the history of underground comics in the Bay Area, the main character fatally hits acclaimed graphic novelist Daniel Clowes, and the absurdity only escalates from there.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Compulsive Comics offers good laughs and vigorous surrealism."
― Comics Beat

"Combining the sky’s-the-limit outrageousness of golden age superhero comics with the hip sensibility of a modern indie cartoonist, these stories are delightful and unlike anything anyone else is producing. Not to be missed."
― Library Journal Starred Review

"Humor, horror, and the existential all blend into one, while Haven mixes his own cocktail of pulp and wry self-awareness."
― Omnivoracious

"Compulsive Comics is a wonderful bit of weird. I don't think I've come across such an eclectic mix of hilarity and horror and wonderment."
― Under the Radar

The comic art of Eric Haven was forged in the icy wastes of Syracuse, NY, and reconstituted in the fecund mental loam of the San Francisco Bay Area. His inky, rubbery drawings buttress story riffs which may otherwise collapse under the weight of their own bleak, black, absurdist humor. He's worked as a security guard; in a Japanese sake factory; at Industrial Light + Magic; and on the TV show MythBusters, where he is a three-time Emmy nominated Producer. His book UR was recently nominated for an Eisner Award.
