The Amazing Screw-On Head

The Amazing Screw-On Head (2010) Mike Mignola

I think that even for Mike Mignola this is a strange collection of stories. Amusing and interesting, yes, but also strange.

The first story is about Screw-On Head, who is a head that screws into different bodies. Which is a fascinating idea. He’s sent out by President Lincoln to stop the recovery of a relic of Gung the Magnificent.

The Magician and the Snake is a story co-written with his daughter Katie, and I actually quite liked it.

The final story wasn’t a story so much as a collection of drawings.

All in all, fun, but strange.
Rating: 7/10
