YUCK! 7

Yuck! Number Seven, a book that is disgusting, deranged, dirty, depraved, disturbed… and actually rather brilliant.

Published by Aussie company Milk Shadow Books, Yuck! Number Seven is a large collection of short black and white comic stories and artwork by a slew of different talented creators. The vast majority of these short tales are either messed up, disgusting, or altogether yucky, as the book’s title clearly points out.

Then we have some of the more perverse yarns, such as Putting The Pussy On A Pedestal (story by Ben John Smith and art by Frank Candiloro), featuring one man’s intimate night with his cat that he loves just a little too much, and Koy D’Roy: The World’s Friendliest Anal Rapist! by Ben Michael Byrne, the title of which really does describe everything. That Koy D’Roy sure is a charming fellow though!

Now, just because some of these stories feature various acts of substance abuse or sexual depravity, that doesn’t mean that all of the shorts in Yuck! Number Seven have to follow suit, does it? I mean, Behavioural Science by Lukasz Termer and Tom Bonin was relatively innocent. A giant fly tries to mug some dude in an elevator, and then gets it on with a maid.
