Welcome
The Killing Joke releases June 12th from BlazeVOX [books] Available for Pre-Order Now “This book is just more proof that comedy can kill. And has.” – Tig Notaro The Killing Joke is a poetic hybrid book tracing the esoteric pop cultural history and concept of the “killing joke” upon three points of focus: Killing Joke, the band; the Joker-centered Batman graphic novel by Alan Moore and its variations in different media; and the first episode of Monty Python’s Flying Circus with its lethal joke sketch – “no one can hear it and live.” Throughout this work there is the overriding image dialectic of the trickster here as jester, as death symbol. Last laugh’s on us. Find out more at Poetry, Thought, Word Magick: Activation of the Trickster Archetype Magus Magnus is now on Substack! Subscribe to Poetry, Thought, Word Magick |
