About This Item
Philadelphia, PA: Quirk Books, 2016. SIGNED. 1st/1st. New. First edition, first printing with complete 10 number line ending in 1. SIGNED by Jon Morris with Enjoy! on the title page during an appearance/book signing at Powel's Books in Portland, Oregon. The new book is tight and square with sharp corners and clean unmarred boards. Textblock is clean with no writing, bookplate or markings and not BCE, ex-library or remaindered. Illustrated end-papers. No dust jacket as issued. Fully illustrated.
Every hero needs a villain. But not all villains are dangerous—some are incompetent, comical, or just . . . weird. In his follow-up to The League of Regrettable Superheroes, author Jon Morris presents over a hundred of the strangest, most stupefying supervillains to ever see print in comics. Meet D-list rogues like Brickbat (choice of weapon: poisonous bricks), Robbing Hood (steals from the poor to give to the rich), Swarm (a crook made of bees; Nazi bees), and many more. Drawing on the entire history of the medium, The Legion of Regrettable Supervillains affectionately and hilariously profiles oddball criminals from the history of comics.
