The Trouble with Igor is a Zen-like tale, or as close to "Zen like" as one can get without actually being Zen, but it's definitely a tale - a tale of a bald mutant/hunchback/zombie's epic journey, a wordless cartoon novel, told entirely in pantomime. Throughout his odyssey, the poor hunchback is just looking for a morsel of food and a shady tree under which to eat, but this tragic hero has a heart of gold... unfortunately accompanied by the touch of death. The well-meaning bald-mute-mutant tries to help everyone and everything he meets, but things can -- and do -- go horribly awry.
Surreal, wacky, totally original. Like a walk through someone's nightmare. Well worth the read.
Well worth the low price I paid.

I've been watching the art of Gus Fink evolve for quite a while now and I saw the price on this book and figured I'd purchase it. The book is put together without any dialog between the characters yet easy to follow and understand. I love the dark style of both Fink and Reilly.
