Chimichanga! Not only is that a fun word to say, it is also a yummy treat. It's a well-known and widely accepted fact that bearded little girls like nothing better than a tasty chimichanga. Of course, the pursuit of tasty deliciousness is never easy, especially when you're an adorable litle tot who lives with the freak show in a traveling circus.
Chimichanga #1 is the demented, yet undeniably cute, brainchild of Eric "The Goon" Powell. If you don't already know Mr. Powell's work, you should feel a great sense of shame burning within you. Powell is a mad genius who has made the world a better place by writing and drawing brilliantly twisted tales of hillbillies, zombies, stink apes, and Peaches Valentine in The Goon. He has brought us tragic tales of a broken hero and inappropriate jokes involving greased pigs all in the same book. He's managed to win Eisner awards for the quality of his poop jokes! There's no denying it takes an uncommon mind at work to win an Eisner for poop jokes.
Chimichanga is what happens when such an amazingly disturbed mind decides to create a more kid-friendly, all-ages type book. The book stars a lovable little bearded girl who, as mentioned above, loves a good chimichanga. One day, on her pilgrimage to the chimichanga stand, she encounters a farty old witch who needs a lock of her luxurious beard hair for an unspeakable witchy potion. Our heroine agrees, but only in exchange for a weird egg vomited up by a vulture. (Yes, you read that right.)
On the way home her egg hatches, giving birth to a big, weird, hairy, ape-thing. Nothing too strange about that, right? In fact, our heroine's new friend becomes the new attraction that just might save the fading old circus: The Wild Chimichanga! Thank goodness, because the amazing two-eyed goat and Randy, the man with the strength of a slightly larger man, were just not drawing the crowds they once did!
Powell's work in this all-ages book is just as demented and off-beat as fans have come to expect from The Goon, but with a lot less violence and cussing. Chimichanga is a great way to warp the kids in your life, or just a great read for you, the discerning comic book reader. I bet you haven't read one single book all month that starred a bearded little girl, or a boy-faced fish, have you? Now Four Color Fantasies is giving you the perfect opportunity to correct that tragic oversight! Shake your chimichangas on over to the shop and try this comic while it is our guaranteed Book of the Week!
