My kind of hero...

OK, well Stain Boy can't be described as super in any sense of the word. I know we have some real comic book afficionados in this blog circle. I just finished a quirky little book by Tim Burton. The Melancholy Death of Oyster Boy & Other Stories is a collection of odd tales told in verse and includes great characters like Mummy Boy, VooDoo Girl, Anchor Baby, and of course Stain Boy.

If you like Burton movies you must give this book a spin. You won't be disappointed. It had me cracking up and admiring Burton's genius.

There are also some Shockwave animations highlighting some of the characters at Burton's website (scroll down).
