Exciting, experimental and challenging - it's controversial Scottish
stand-up comedian Frankie Boyle's first comics work. Join the crazy
adventures of superscientist CEO Rex Royd!
From an interview with Frankie Boyle: I wanted to try to do something
that came from the heart. The state-of-the-art in comics always seemed a
bit linear and it seems so unambitious. I wanted to do different
sections from an overall story you didn't see all of. I just
f****** love comics and I'm keen to develop the whole thing in the
least comic book way possible! Rex is complex, but you don't necessarily
need to follow everything. I'm not asking the reader to work as much as
have an open mind.
Each Rex Royd chapter takes us further into the vivid imagination of
stand-up comedian and writer, Frankie Boyle - backed up by stunning,
stylish art by Mike Dowling and Budi Setiawan. The action takes place at
RexCorp, a corporation where violence is the day job. RexCorp is headed
up by superscientist CEO Rex Royd, indestructible Alan Black, and Eve -
yes, that Eve. How will they cope against the incalculable power of the
extraterrestrial Proteoman? All this plus memory implants, drug-addicted
schizophrenics, sex-travelling aliens, Thunder God suicides - and more.
