Johnny the Homicidal Maniac

the long version

Mayhem and violence rule in this collection of issues one through seven of Jhonen Vasquez's *Johnny the Homicidal Maniac*, as well as material seen before only in *Carpe Noctem* magazine. Dark and disturbingly funny, JTHM follows the adventures of Johnny (you can call him Nny), who lives with a pair of styrofoam doughboys that encourage his madness, a wall that constantly needs a fresh coat of blood, and--oh, yeah--his victims in various states of torture. Join Nny as he frightens the little boy next door (Todd, known to fans of Vasquez's work as Squee), thirsts for Cherry Brain Freezies, attempts suicide, draws Happy Noodle Boy, and tries to uncover the meaning of his homicidal existence.
