Johnny the Homicidal Maniac (sometimes abbreviated as JtHM) is a black-and-white comic book series written and drawn by Jhonen Vasquez. It began as a series of short strips in the goth magazine Carpe Noctem, and was later published in seven issues by Slave Labor Graphics between August 1995 and January 1997. The series later had two spin-offs: Squee! and I Feel Sick.

The comic is a black comedy laced with irony and social criticism. It is in part a satire of society’s fascination with violence. Enhancing these darker aspects are Vasquez's angular art style, accompanied by dark shading.

I treat comics like anything else, I'll download it, and if I like it, I'll buy it.

Fair enough.

I'm like this with everything, unless it's rare or unavailable, I have to buy.

Last I knew you can get a Directors Cut TPB for about $20.

I was reading this during the first run. It was really cool at the time, but JV's big head and the fanboy scene have left a bad taste in my mouth. Still, if you can get past all that, it's great.

I think you'll enjoy King, it's quite funny with a sick sense of humor to it at times.

Squee's (a spin off character from JTHM) series is also alot of fun.

I'd occasionally see these comics at Hot Topic now and then. I've always loved the artwork for them. Perhaps when I have time I'll pick myself up a couple and read it.
