The Thousand Deaths of Baron Von Donut

Douglas Paszkiewicz’s The Thousand Deaths of Baron Von Donut, launched by AAA Milwaukee Publishing in 2004, is a single-issue comic that plays with the idea of an immortal, pastry-themed villain. Paszkiewicz writes and draws the entire story, creating a bizarre, self-contained world where the Baron’s endless demise is the central gag. Though it stands alone, this debut issue established Paszkiewicz as a singular voice in offbeat indie comics.
