In A Glass Grotesquely

Gave as a gift

I cannot stop reading Richard Sala! I discovered him so late but now that I’ve started reading through his back catalog, I can’t stop. In a Glass Grotesquely is another amazing work! It mainly consists of the story of master villain, Super-Enigmatix, but also features three delightful shorter works as well. A must read for Sala fans.

This is an exceptional book by Richard Sala, one of his most subversive yet. The cast of characters features some of his most fully-realized creations, including arch supervillian Super-Enigmatix, journalist David who is nursing a broken heart, and another of Sala's powerful, take-no-prisoners heroines, Detective Charms. "Super-Enigmatix" also features some of Sala's most ingeniously funny dialogue. Highly recommended.

Richard salas art style is unique and a big selling point gor his works

Richard Sala is Richard Sala. He does what only he can do. If you love Richard Sala's work, you need this. If you're not sure whether you love Richard Sala's work, you need this so you can find out if you do.

This was everything I hoped it would be. Action, adventure, mystery, humor. Good old-fashioned comic just the way I like them.

Genius; challenging, not light-hearted in any way, but genius.

Richard Sala's works are not deep, nor are they intricately plotted, but they are fun, fast-paced tales filled with murders, the supernatural, secret societies, and faces of a horrific nature. No one has a regular job, but is either a cop, detective, mystic, murderer, thief, or super-criminal. There are four stories here, but the last three are just add-ons. The main story, "Super-Enigmatix" is about a super-criminal who wrecks havoc on society, just to be a jerk really. It's not deep, but its well drawn and fun.
