comic book mini-series published byAvatar Press . It is written byWarren Ellis and illustrated byJacen Burrows . The series consists of three issues and was published from July through October of 2001.Overview
Unlike most comic books, "Bad World" is a work of
nonfiction and does not contain characters, plots, or a recurring storyline. Instead, the writing in each issue is a series of observations by Ellis on stories which are incredibly bizarre, but true. The series repeatedly deals with subjects such asserial killer s, conspiracy theorists, UFO cultists, and religious fanatics, bizarre acts such ascannibalism ,necrophilia , andbestiality , and unusual beliefs such asurine therapy ,inedia , and Flat Earthers.Burrows' art provides a background for Ellis' observations. Though drawn in a realistic style, the art often stylizes or parodies the material being discussed; for example, on a page about a woman who claims that she and her children are alien/human hybrids, Burrows draws a woman sitting in a rocking chair and holding two infant
Greys .Collected editions
The three issue mini-series was collected into a trade paperback in 2002 (ISBN 0970678487).
