The Big Book of Losers

A single, hefty one-shot from DC's 1997 line of "Big Book" anthologies, The Big Book of Losers is a playful, fact-packed parade of history's most spectacular failures. Written by Paul Kirchner and designed by Alex Wald, this oversized comic presents a series of short, illustrated biographies chronicling everyone from military blunderers to hapless inventors. It stands as a clever, irreverent entry in the publisher's educational series, using the medium to celebrate the strange, instructive charm of human error.
