The Big Book of Urban Legends

From 1994 onward, DC’s The Big Book of Urban Legends is a single-issue graphic novel that adapts the research of folklorist Jan Harold Brunvand into a comics anthology. With lively, often humorous art by Hunt Emerson, it collects classic urban myths and contemporary tall tales, presenting them as quick, entertaining stories. This book matters as a clever, accessible bridge between folklore scholarship and popular comic storytelling.
