Nerd Inferno: The Essential Evan Dorkin - (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Collecting the Milk and Cheese, Eltingville Club, and Dork by Eisner, Harvey, and Ignatz award-winning comics creator Evan Dorkin. Collected for the first time in an affordable omnibus edition.

The entire Eltingville Club saga. Every Milk and Cheese comic. All the fun strips, gag panels and stories from Dork.

The entire shebang is now available in one big-ass Omnibus edition, a staggering display of satire, silliness, and stupidity featuring all the Eisner, Harvey, and Ignatz award-winning humor comics by semi-esteemed and somewhat-beloved cartoonist Evan Dorkin. It's going to sell out and you will cry if you don't get a copy, so get to it, kids (This message was approved by Evan's therapist).

For mature audiences.

"Evan's calcium-rich creations are guaranteed to spread lactose intolerance everywhere."--David Mazzucchelli (Asterios Polyp, Batman: Year One)

"Milk and Cheese is the cream of the comic crop, a butter-bomb of hilarity, and one other lactose-based metaphor."--Patton Oswalt (Ratatouille, Minor Threats)

"Dorkin is a powerful man, and this is powerful stuff--you buy this book, you'll black out, probably wake up in prison. But don't let that stop you."--Bryan Lee O'Malley (Scott Pilgrim's Precious Little Life)

About the Author

Evan Dorkin is an American comics artist and writer. His most well-known works are the comic books Milk and Cheese and Dork. His comics often poke fun at fandom, even while making it clear that Dorkin is a fan himself. As well as his comics work, Dorkin has also written for animation, including (with his wife Sarah Dyer, also a comics writer/artist) Space Ghost: Coast to Coast. He also wrote and produced Bring me the Head of Boba Fett, an animated television pilot for Adult Swim called Welcome to Eltingville, based on his own characters. Dorkin and Dyer also wrote some episodes of the Superman animated series, particularly the episode "Live Wire," which introduced a new character of the same name. Additionally, the pair contributed to the script of the 2006 English-language version of the anime Shin Chan. After an initial six-episode order proved successful, more episodes were ordered, but Dorkin and Dyer are no longer working on the series. Dorkin has been the recipient of several Eisner Awards, including 2002's Best Writer/Artist: Humor.
