JTHM: Directors cut

Wed, 14 Feb 2007 17:12:37 -0600

Johnny the Homicidal Maniac consists of a collection of strips, each carrying on over several pages. The story is told in a disjointed, non-linear fashion that mirrors the title character’s mental instability. It is often left unexplained which events in the story are objective and which are subjective, and very little back-story is given. This ambiguity again reflects Johnny’s character.
