The Villain’s Guide to Better Living

Neil Zawacki’s second guide for villains delves into interior decorating.

The Villain's Guide to Better Living

Years ago, I reviewed a little marvelous book I had chanced upon and loved: How to Be a Villain by Neil Zawacki. It’s hilarious, the art is brilliant (very 1960s atompunk) and sure to put a smile on your face, whether you aspire to be an evil overlord or not.

The first volume’s artist, James Dignan, does not return for the sequel, but the art of Bill Brown is very similar and definitely not of lesser quality.

The Villain’s Guide to Better Living will tell you all you need to know about the homes of different types of evildoers. From (olde world) vampires to mad scientists and everything in between, there are many hilarious tips and tricks, magazine-like quizzes (gotta make sure you get that interior right!) and art as funny as the writing.

If you want to have a good laugh at a bad guy’s expense, or maybe help that ne’er-do-weller in your life sort out their residence, this is a great book to pick up.
