Book Review of Boogeyman

Boogeyman
dilbretta avatar reviewed on


This black/white comic has an old gravedigger with banjo narrates/sings stories about the "Boogeyman". According to the old gravedigger, the Boogeyman is not a physical state, but rather is the symbolic manifestation of people's, both young and old, fears. The structure of narrative plots gives ample opportunity to tell (mostly) humorous stories about human fears. If you only know Sergio from his work in Mad Magazine, this is similar to that, only longer and with more narrative structure. Recommended to all fans of funny and weird comic books.
