The Manly World of Lloyd Llewellyn: A Golden Treasury of His Complete Works #[nn]
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis 1994 Fantagraphics collection gathers the complete run of Lloyd Llewellyn, a deadpan, retro-noir comic strip by Daniel Clowes. It follows the misadventures of the titular Lloyd, a hapless private eye, alongside supporting characters like Ernie Hoyle, Fatima, Red Hoerring, and Stump Hassler, all set in a stylized 1950s world of cheap thrills and existential ennui.
In "Murder, Martians and Wild, Wild Women," Daniel Clowes delivers a sharp, surreal dive into the mind of Red Hoerring, a man waking from a persistent nightmare in a hospital bed, only to face an unsettling visit from Erskine Ford—a figure from his past he can’t quite place. With Clowes handling every aspect of the story and art, this tale from The Manly World of Lloyd Llewellyn: A Golden Treasury of His Complete Works (1994) blends disquieting memories with oddball humor in a way only Clowes could.
In "Color Me Red, part one: Wayfaring Strangler," Red Hoerring wakes from a haunting nightmare in a hospital bed, disoriented and unsettled. His fragile calm is shattered when Erskine Ford, a man he remembers as a notorious serial killer, arrives for a visit—leaving Red to wonder if the past is truly behind him.
When the Queen of Venus declares her romantic interest in Lloyd Llewellyn via a crackling television broadcast, he can't resist the cosmic call—grabbing Professor Boring’s spaceship to journey to the red planet and see her for himself.
