WINNER OF THE BEST BOOK DESIGN OF THE YEAR
NOMINATED FOR BEST DANISH DEBUT PING PRIZE
NOMINATED FOR BEST DANISH COMIC CLAUS DELEURAN PRIZE
The supervillain Doctor Murder is having a truly terrible day. First, the superhero abandons him. Then his henchmen disappear. And finally, his sanity goes...
Dr. Murder and the Island of Death is a tale of beauty and the illusions of love, of longing for the unattainable and being blinded to what is close... and what the hell is quinoa, really?
This is not your typical superhero story, but rather a love child between the Bond villains of the seventies and French existentialism. Imagine the chain-smoking Albert Camus, Jean-Paul Sartre, and Simone de Beauvoir – but with a 20 trillion-dollar laser cannon, secret underground bases, and those kinds of underwear best worn on the outside of clothes. And of course... less boring.
