11. Big Book of Martyrs
The lives and deaths of Christian martyrs is sort of interesting. What was more interesting was the current martyrs. Or as I like to put it, “People who have been recently tortured for their faith.” The best illustrators in this book are Shary Flenniken, Gregory Benton, Colleen Doran and Marie Severin.
12. Big Book of Scandal
One of three favourites this is all about Hollywood and Politics biggest scandals. Charlie Chaplin’s underage sex scandal, the Heidi Fleiss scandal, the Anita Hill scandal and even chemical scandal of Thalidomide. I learned about Cyril Burt, the man who with false evidence changed the British educational system, and I learned about the Iran-Contra Scandal. I love my history like this. Some of the super cool artists in this book were: Arnold Pander, Bryan Talbot, John Cebollero, and David Lloyd.
13. Big Book of the Bad
Another one of my three favourites. This one was about the truly bad people throughout history, literary and otherwise. It covered bad guys, bad groups, bad science, bad sports and bad taste. Some artists having fun drawing this one were Kevin Maguire, Eddie Campbell, Stephen DeStefano and Esteban Moroto.
14. Big Book of Weird Wild West
Stories about the bizarre, creepy and deadly American West. Homosexuality amongst cowboys, culture clashes,cannibals and spooky stories. Accomplished artists in this book were: Nick Bertozzi, Salgood Sam, Gregory Benton and Gray Morrow.
