There are certainly some writers beyond measure is the world of comedy literature, and many of them have come to create seemingly endless catalogs of hilarious reads. But a good laugh in book form can occasionally come from unexpected sources, and certain authors from the comic book world definitely serve as proof. Here are three hilarious books written by authors from within the wonderful world of comics.
Crooked Little Vein by Warren Ellis. Known for such groundbreaking titles as Transmetropolitan (1997–2002), Global Frequency (2002–2004), Red (2003–2004), Trees (2014–present), and Injection (2015–present), Ellis is nothing short of a legend in the comic book world. Crooked Little Vein, his first foray into the world of novels, puts a hilarious spin on the hardboiled detective genre.
Good Omens by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett. Although both prolific authors, neither defined solely for their work in the comic book genre, Pratchett has has his Discworld novels adapted into graphic novel form, while Gaiman’s invaluable contribution comes in the form of his legendary Sandman series. Their geniuses combine in this hilarious parody about the birth of the son of Satan.
Romeo and/or Juliet: A Chooseable-Path Adventure by Ryan North. North earned considerable acclaim for Marvel’s The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl, and after a massively successful Kickstarter campaign for a choose-your-own-adventure Hamlet novel followed it up with Romeo and/or Juliet, a similarly hilarious adaptation.
