Who is Greg, and why does he wear a hood? In issue zero of Greg’s self-titled comic book series, you’ll find out.

With the sub-title ‘The Delivery Room Massacre’, you know this ain’t going to be an experience that’s subtle, or in any way restrained. Issue zero tells the story of where Greg comes from, and of what happens to everyone who gets a glimpse of his dangerously handsome visage.

It’s unpredictable, unashamedly silly fun. Greg #0 is the kind of tasteless, direct-to-video gorefest you can only get from indie creators; a bite-sized, blood-soaked, kitsch extravaganza that’d make John Waters turn neon green with envy.

The presumably pseudonymous Duke Electric wore many hats in the creation of Greg #0; in fact, it’s fair to say that he wore all of the hats, given that he’s responsible for all of the writing and the off-kilter art, with its fully non-conforming layouts. Well, the editing was handled by the wearer of the editing hat, Sally Cinnamon, but Electric was on the case for everything else.

As brief as it is, Greg #0 is subversive and inventive stuff, setting up the main series with not just unique page layouts or different aesthetics, but also classified style ads, newspaper clippings and a cool, post-delivery room look at Greg’s life, many years later.

One thing’s for sure: I can’t wait to catch up with Greg and his dangerous handsomeness when the series properly kicks off. If you don’t hear from me again at that point, you’ll know I caught a glimpse under the hood.

You can buy Greg #0 from Studio Comix. Many thanks to Duke Electric for sending me a copy of Greg #0 for review purposes.
