FAUST: Love Of The Damned

I have been waiting to read the complete story. It is an adult subject matter.

The comic came in excellent condition. No bent corners, torn pages. Perfectly intact.

I've always liked Faust. I have the original Act #1 with Quinn and Vigil's signitures. If your into mobid and graffic violence this ADULT comic is for you. Thanx

Great story but significantly overpriced here. Shop around and find this issue all day for much less than $60

Perhaps the weirdest aspect of Faust is that artist Tim Vigil squandered a decade or more of his tremendous talent on a fairly derivative and mostly pointless story. Saying that Faust is gratuitous and sensationalistic goes without saying, but the real problem is that Faust is directionless and surprisingly boring even when laden with extremely graphic elements. Despite having detailed sex and violence on more pages than not, the characters are flat and the plot is predictable. Faust himself is an emperor's new clothes kind of character, where everything happens for no other reason than to display hardcore violence and absurd juvenile porn scenarios wrapped around one of the dozens of late 80s Wolverine wannabe character designs. David Quinn's writing is dull and long winded, consisting of long bouts of tedious exposition. It's an odd mix to have graphic displays of sex and violence as characters bore you to death with heavy convoluted plot explanations. Vigil has expressed being perplexed as to why his work never found a larger audience after thirty plus years in the business. My answer to this is twofold: first is that Faust's brand of psycho-sexuality isn't generally attractive as much as it is just weird. And second, as I said before is that it is dense and boring. Vigil's over-the-top detailed visuals display incredible talent, but even with Vigil's great ability, Faust ends up seeming empty and not all that interesting.

In a similar spirit of the Crossed series, violence, shock and sex is portrayed in excruciating blood drenched detail. It's clearly meant to shock, horrify and yet the art has a degree of detail you will rarely see anywhere. The fine attention to blood splatters and human entrails is 'unique'. yes there is a story in there, and many overwrought speeches of satanic villains. somehow it works,
