Mark Millar's THE UNFUNNIES #1
Retail Price: $3.50 US
Cover: Keith Giffen
Story: Mark Millar
Art: Anthony Williams
Readership: Mature Readers
Format: color, 32 pages, monthly 1 of 4

DESCRIPTION: Welcome to the most depraved comic-book of the 21st century, a disturbing, four issue mini-series that blends traditional animation with photo-strip storytelling to produce one of the most compelling horror comics in years. The Unfunnies is a journey through the dark side of the human soul like Magnolia or Happiness, but told in the style of your favorite animated cartoon strips. Undoubtedly, the most uncompromising work Mark Millar has ever produced, The Unfunnies forms a pivotal part of the www.millarworld.biz December event along with WANTED from Top Cow, RUN! from Image and CHOSEN from Dark Horse Comics. All four Millarworld titles are subtly linked and aimed at an exclusively MATURE READERS audience, supported by massive features in the comic book and mainstream press.
