AMAZING SCREW ON HEAD & OTHER CURIOUS OBJECTS HC

Mike Mignola has deservedly become one of the biggest names in comics for his creation of Hellboy. But when Mignola needs a short break from the Hellboy universe, he turns to diversions such as The Amazing Screw–On Head, winner of the Eisner Award for Best Humor Publication!

When Emperor Zombie threatens the safety of all life on earth, President Lincoln enlists the aid of a mechanical head. With the help of associates Mr. Groin (a faithful manservant) and Mr. Dog (a dog), Screw–On Head must brave ancient tombs, a Victorian flying apparatus, and demons from a dimension inside a turnip. This new collection of oddball Mignola creations also includes “The Magician and the Snake” from Dark Horse Maverick: Happy Endings, and nearly fifty pages of brand new material, all as weird and hilarious as the beloved Screw-On Head.

* The Amazing Screw–On Head won an Eisner Award for Best Humor Publication.

* “The Magician and the Snake” won an Eisner Award for Best Short Story.

* Amazing Screw–On Head was the source for the cult animated short starring Paul Giamatti, David Hyde Pierce, and Patton Oswalt.

Mike Mignola, Dave Stewart

    There’s ya problem, it aired on the SciFi network! (refuse to call it by the new, retarded name)

    Can’t wait to read this though, loved the animated pilot and have been dying to read the source material.

    Book is absolutely GORGEOUS! Extras are very welcome! May be the best Dark Horse I’ve seen (presentation wise).

    Does this have other stories aside from the title one? I already own that in comic form. I dont wanna miss out, but if this is just Screw On Head with a backup and some sketches I dont wanna drop 20 something on it.

    @JaqueNargg- Yes, this has other stories than the original title, plus loads of skecthes and other production stuff. Very worth the $$ and if you get it on amazon it’s ony $12+
