Wow, I remember the movie being bad, but the book was so much worse. At least it didn’t take two hours to get through.

This comic book version of the film 1941 is absolutely perfect. The crazy drawing style and the collaged illustrations exactly capture the demented, madcap spirit of the movie. Although it isn't an exact representation (Betty's friend is drawn as a cute girl instead of the fat, aggressive character she is in the movie, and her obsession with Treat Williams' character is left out), it gets most of it right. If you liked the movie, you'll like this.
