Beautiful Stories for Ugly Children

Beautiful Stories for Ugly Children is an anthology of contradictions. Absurd and touching, poignant and discomforting, each story is about the search for happiness, and the sometimes extreme measures taken to find it. Despite their lyricism, each story mines a very particular vein of black humor. Originally published by Pirahna Press from 1989 to 1992 in the form of 30 single-issue comics and three graphic novels. BOOM Studios was to republish issues #1-5 as a trade paperback in 2008; this book has since been cancelled.
