Just got this as a Christmas gift from my brother, and I instantly consumed it. Daniel inspires me so much. This book did that and more. Amazing piece of art, and I think the best gift I have ever gotten. ❤️

El diablo grita: “Daniel Johnston debe morir”. Y así culmina el cómic. Decir que termina no es cierto, porque su gracia está en la incertidumbre. Una guerra puede venir. “Así termina esta historia hasta ahora...”. Nadie sabe después. Ni Daniel Johnston.

Strictly for goofy Daniel Johnston fans and galactic duck soldiers against Satan.

No weapon formed against me shall prosper. No Duck has EVER failed in ALL of history. The Devil is gonna Die!

Brilliant work of art.

Disclaimer: I bought this book after watching THE DEVIL AND DANIEL JOHNSTON. If you don't know Daniel Johnston and his work, you probably would not want this particular book, but I have been fascinated with Daniel's story and his artistic endeavors in music and illustration. This one is as quirky as one might expect and more.

Odd sketches accompany a broken story line. Again, if you are unfamiliar with the work, leave this one be. . .but this is part of my 2012 Reading Challenge now. And part of my overall makeup as a reader (eek).

the man. the myth. the legend. i can't believe this finally happened. daniel johnston always knew he wanted to be a comic book artist. he even hitchhiked to west virginia to meet P. Craig Russell, where Russell told him to check out Austin's underground comic scene. really interesting stuff!! what a treat!! BUY THIS NOW!

"Let's war!" This isn't a compelling story by any means, especially compared to Johnston's own, but it's filled with great images of demons and ducks fighting one another through time and space.
