About this Collection

This 1997 trade paperback from DC's Paradox Press imprint collects the complete run of The Big Book of Losers, a satirical Factoid Books series that chronicles history's most spectacular failures, from military blunders to personal misfortunes. Written by various contributors and illustrated in a documentary-style comic format, the volume presents a darkly humorous look at incompetence, bad luck, and the art of losing throughout the ages.
