Over the past two decades, The Toxic Avenger has achieved the status of cult icon. Discerning fans around the world have followed "Toxie's" adventures through four films, an animated feature, a Saturday-morning cartoon series, comic books, action figures, and more. His name has been used by everyone from the Environmental Protection Agency to the U.S. Army to PETA; he appears in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade; and his creator, Lloyd Kaufman, is claimed as an influence by directors like Peter Jackson and Quentin Tarantino. Now Kaufman has set aside his video camera and unleashed his twisted brilliance on the artistic form of Fitzgerald, Hemingway, Faulkner, and Mitch Albom. And to put it simply, Kaufman has blown those jokers out of the water. Readers who dare to crack the spine of this book will experience the gamut of human emotion (and then some): laughter, tears, and perhaps even vomiting and spontaneous ejaculation. With more girl-on-girl action than an episode of Springer, more blood-soaked bad taste than an After School Special, and with special "guest narrators" such as J. D. Salinger and Oliver Stone, The Toxic Avenger oozes hilarity on every page. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

As with Lloyd's filmmaking books, The Toxic Avenger: The Novel is full of asides from the writers and 4th wall breaking moments between Lloyd and his ever-suffering editor. Not only has Lloyd taken the original Toxic Avenger material and converted it into a book, he's also added some things to make it more book-like and even updated it for the current time period. The most obvious update is the mention of the improvement to Tromaville's skyline now that two specific somethings are no longer around (yes, it's what you're thinking). Also, there is a history of Tromaville itself and a "scientific" explanation of Toxie's Tromatons.
This book is just fun from start to finish. It gets a little disgusting at points, but it's from Troma, so that's to be expected. If you're a fan of the Toxic Avenger or even Lloyd's other books, this should definitely be added to your collection. ( )
