5.0 out of 5 stars Dark and hilarious, 10 Dec 2007

By	Mikko Saari (Tampere, Finland) - See all my reviews

The Perry Bible Fellowship has long been one of my favourite online comics. The author has a brilliantly twisted sense of humour and a good sense of style. PBF is PBF, even though the illustrations vary a lot between strips, as Gurewitch experiments with different styles and techniques.

This book compiles almost hundred pages worth of strips: not all of them, but most. Few of my personal favourites are missing, yet I'm quite satisfied with the collection. There's some material that's previously unpublished, but it's nothing really interesting. So, if you've already read everything that's on the web site and don't want to buy stuff you've already read, this book offers very little. However, I'm rather glad to have it on my bookshelves.

If you've never heard of Perry Bible Fellowship, I envy you: you have a world of sickly sweet pleasure to explore. Check the web site or buy the book: whichever you do, you won't be disappointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Move over The Far Side...welcome to The Dark Side!, 17 Nov 2007

By	Dr. George L. Sik (Epsom, Surrey) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

In Gary Larson's The Prehistory of the Far Side, he revealed some cartoons that had never been syndicated or had received loads and loads of complaints. Things have moved on a bit since then, I can tell you!

The Perry Bible Fellowship (no idea what that means) is sick, dark and twisted...but also hilarious. If The League of Gentlemen were available in comic strip form, it might well resemble this: Willy Wonka is running an abattoir, rather than a chocolate factory; 'Will you marry me?' is spelled out using the bodies of aircrash victims; a camera inside a Tunnel of Love provides filthy souvenir snaps...and that's just a taste.

If you like your humour pitch-black and get impatient between its weekly appearances in The Guardian, this collection is just for you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great to have a hard copy of one of my favourite web comics, 7 Jan 2008

By	Johnmcl7 "John" (Inverness, Scotland) - See all my reviews

In some ways this is a very quick review - go to the perry bible fellowship website and if you enjoy the strips I highly recommend buying the book and if you don't like them, don't buy it. That doesn't do the book much justice though...

I'm not sure how other people have come across the Perry Bible Fellowship, I noticed these strange cartoons in various different signatures across the internet and decided to finally find out where they were coming from. I landed on a goldmine when I found the website with its weekly updates, the comics are usually rather strange and often set in completely bizarre universes rarely connected to each other. Most of them I find hilarious and even though I've read through each of the strips on the site many times they still make me laugh. I also enjoy the fact that the comics have very little do with anything in the real world, no political commentary, no connections to headlines just something quite different.

As for the book itself, as another reviewer has pointed out you're essentially getting a hard copy of most of the strips on the website so you do know exactly what you're getting. If you read through the strips on the site and never go back to them then this book is probably not going to be worth the money. Personally as I enjoy reading through the strips from time to time, I'm pleased with the book. The hardcover gives it a quality feel and the print quality is excellent, the web versions of the comics look detailed but on paper I appreciate the effort moreso that has gone into creating them.

An easy five stars for me and I'm pleased to be able to pick this up in the UK (thought I was going to have to order it from the US), I've already read through the entire book as soon as it arrived as has my brother and I plan to read through it many more times.

5.0 out of 5 stars Spiffing
Absolutely.

Buy it or feel foolish for the rest of your life.

Lots of PBF comic strips in paper form that can be stroked and patted until you're sick.
