I became addicted to PE when I started collecting comics again back in '95. I was looking to find some decent indie stuff, and PE fit the bill. Based around a narcissistic homicidal elf with an imp is his brain that spouts anachronistic advise that he can barely understand, PE is probably one of the more wild fantasy comics around. Between murdering serial killers to out witting overweight women in frock coats this is sure to please fans of violent indie comics. The story is kind of rough for the first couple of issues as this is Drew's first self published work, but as the trade goes on the art gets a lot sharper and the story more in-depth. Originally released as four separate trades, this tome is a nice way to collect Hayes' pre-Sirius work into one handy book. ( )
