The Big Book of Bad: The Best of the Worst of Everything

Another excellent edition of the DC Comics' Factoid Press "Big Book" series. This one focuses on the bad guys/girls in history, including some real rotters! Excellent entertainment for the whole family!

definitely a great addition to your collection. I can't wait until each new installment is published. Makes you want to look up more information on some of the topics explored within.

From Lady Macbeth to the admittedly lewd practices of the Roman emporers, this book has it all. Where else could one find the full account of Mr. Sawney Beane, the father of an inbred Scottish family who dwelt in coastal cliffs, frequently preying on travelers and eating them? Or the atrocities committed during the Bataan death march? Beautifully - or gruesomely,depending on who you are - illustrated, this book, another masterpiece by Factoid, satisfies that dark sweet tooth in all of us. A must-have for horror hounds and psychofilm buffs.

Another gem from the crown of Paradox Press! This book examines just what it is to be bad. But we don't just see "bad" as evil: we also see "bad" as in "bad taste." Learn how each story needs a bad guy! And you'll also see how history has its share of bad guys as well! It takes good writers and artists to discuss "bad" like this!

Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men? This book, published by the independent Factoid Books, goes through the ages of man, from Caligula to Sawney Bean. It also includes fictional works which have been incorporated into pop culture(such as Bram Stoker's Dracula). It even has a section in the end entitled "Bad Sports", which includes the steroid abuse of WWF manager Vince McMahon and Mike Tyson's fateful Evander Buffet in Las Vegas.
