The Ghoulish Book of Weird Records

A single, oversized 1979 one-shot from New American Library, The Ghoulish Book of Weird Records is a morbidly playful encyclopedia of bizarre world records, illustrated in comic form. It taps into the same macabre curiosity as Ripley’s Believe It or Not!, but with a distinctively comic-book sensibility and a ghoulish host to guide readers through the strangest human achievements and natural oddities. While a one-off, it remains a cult curiosity for its unique blend of fact, freak-show wonder, and pre-Guinness era record-book nostalgia.
