van helsing's night off

„...If the trailers for Hugh Jackman's Van Helsing leave you pining for classic monsters without the steroids and CG effects, check out Nicolas Mahler's humorous collection. The vampire hunter, along with the Wolfman and other familiar characters, stars in vignettes about the trouble that beasties (and heroes) get into during their downtime. Told almost entirely without words, the strips are paced like movie shorts and the art is keenly stylized. While this book isn't all that scary, the dark, campy humor will delight and mystify mature monster fans.“
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY

„Deceptively simple and visually humorous...Each segment will make you giggle, or even laugh out loud in spite of yourself. This is Mahler`s first full foray onto the American scene, and though his art has a distinct european flavor, its universal physical humor entertains the eye and mind, and allows a unique voice to be heard“

VAMPIRELLA MAGAZINE

„This humorous collection of short and silent cartoons takes horror`s classic archetypes and places them in decidedly common situation, to absurdly hilarious effect.“

RUE MORGUE MAGAZINE

„This is comics stripped down to its barest bones, and it turns out that this bones are very funny indeed.“
