Introduction by Stephen King
The Killer Inside Me is a 1952 crime novel written by American author Jim Thompson (1906 to 1977). The Killer Inside Me is one of the best-regarded crime novels of the twentieth century, and has received praise from bestselling novelist, Stephen King (The Shining), and the acclaimed filmmaker, the late Stanley Kubrick (2001: A Space Odyssey).
In 2016 and 2017, IDW Publishing published a five-issue comic book adaptation of Thompson's novel, entitled Jim Thompson's The Killer Inside Me. The adaptation is written by Devin Faraci, a film critic and podcaster. It is drawn by Vic Malhotra; colored by Jason Millet; and lettered by Christa Miesner. Robert Hack drew the cover illustrations for the variant cover editions of this comic book.
In April 2017, IDW published a trade paperback that collected all five issues of Jim Thompson's The Killer Inside Me. At the back of this book, there is a 14-page section of illustrations and sketch material drawn by Malhotra and Hack. IDW sent me a copy of the Jim Thompson's The Killer Inside Me trade paperback for review.
Jim Thompson's The Killer Inside Me is set in around the small town of Central City, Texas. Lou Ford is a deputy for Sheriff Bob Maples. Ford is something of a psychopath, and as the story advances, it is obvious that he is a full-on serial killer. As Ford says, he has had a sickness inside him ever since he was a child.
Ford hatches a plan of blood revenge against the wealthy Chester Conway, the owner of Conway Construction, which seems to build everything in Central City. Ford's murderous plot involves Chester's not-too-bright son, Elmer, and Joyce Lakeland, a prostitute that Elmer loves and with whom he hopes to elope. Most people in Central City think Lou Ford is a little slow, but they don't know about the sickness inside him, a psychosis that is reemerging as the bodies pile up.
Over 20 years ago, I read my only Jim Thompson novel, The Grifters (1963), which I thought was brilliantly written. Once upon a time, when they were still talking, Fantagraphics Books' Gary Groth interviewed the late Harlan Ellison, in which either Ellison or Groth said that sometimes a work of art or storytelling is perfect in its original form. As much as I enjoyed director Stephen Frears and writer Donald E. Westlake's 1990 film adaptation of The Grifters, I thought the original, Thompson's novel, was perfect.
There is something lacking in Jim Thompson's The Killer Inside Me the comic book. This comic book adaptation is flat and lacks the hard-boiled lyricism I found in The Grifters. There are some good moments when this comic book can be furious and edgy, but quite a bit of the narrative smothers any embers that the plot kicks up. The fifth issue of this adaptation is the only one that consistently, from the first page to the last, has that bad-ass burn of American “noir.”
Although this comic book is by no means a disaster, Jim Thompson's The Killer Inside Me could have been better. I don't know what qualifies Devin Faraci to adapt a Jim Thompson novel to comics, especially after IDW published comic book adaptations of Richard Stark's (Donald E. Westlake) Parker crime novels, written and drawn by the late Darwyn Cooke, one of the best comic book creators of the last 20 years. There is something about Faraci's adaptation that seems to accept that it is inherently an inferior work.
Even Vic Malhotra's illustrations and graphic storytelling often come across as flat, even listless, unable to convey the power of the original story. Colorist Jason Millet's simmering hues do more to convey Jim Thompson's heat than any other contributor to this comic book. Christa Miesner's lettering is not spectacular, but creates a nice rhythm for the story.
While I have mixed feelings about Jim Thompson's The Killer Inside Me the comic book, I can recommend this trade paperback to comic book readers who are always looking for comic books adapted from novels.

Introduction by Stephen King
The Killer Inside Me is a 1952 crime novel written by American author Jim Thompson (1906 to 1977). The Killer Inside Me is one of the best-regarded crime novels of the twentieth century, and has received praise from bestselling novelist, Stephen King (The Shining), and the acclaimed filmmaker, the late Stanley Kubrick (2001: A Space Odyssey).
In 2016 and 2017, IDW Publishing published a five-issue comic book adaptation of Thompson's novel, entitled Jim Thompson's The Killer Inside Me. The adaptation is written by Devin Faraci, a film critic and podcaster. It is drawn by Vic Malhotra; colored by Jason Millet; and lettered by Christa Miesner. Robert Hack drew the cover illustrations for the variant cover editions of this comic book.
In April 2017, IDW published a trade paperback that collected all five issues of Jim Thompson's The Killer Inside Me. At the back of this book, there is a 14-page section of illustrations and sketch material drawn by Malhotra and Hack. IDW sent me a copy of the Jim Thompson's The Killer Inside Me trade paperback for review.
Jim Thompson's The Killer Inside Me is set in around the small town of Central City, Texas. Lou Ford is a deputy for Sheriff Bob Maples. Ford is something of a psychopath, and as the story advances, it is obvious that he is a full-on serial killer. As Ford says, he has had a sickness inside him ever since he was a child.
Ford hatches a plan of blood revenge against the wealthy Chester Conway, the owner of Conway Construction, which seems to build everything in Central City. Ford's murderous plot involves Chester's not-too-bright son, Elmer, and Joyce Lakeland, a prostitute that Elmer loves and with whom he hopes to elope. Most people in Central City think Lou Ford is a little slow, but they don't know about the sickness inside him, a psychosis that is reemerging as the bodies pile up.
Over 20 years ago, I read my only Jim Thompson novel, The Grifters (1963), which I thought was brilliantly written. Once upon a time, when they were still talking, Fantagraphics Books' Gary Groth interviewed the late Harlan Ellison, in which either Ellison or Groth said that sometimes a work of art or storytelling is perfect in its original form. As much as I enjoyed director Stephen Frears and writer Donald E. Westlake's 1990 film adaptation of The Grifters, I thought the original, Thompson's novel, was perfect.
There is something lacking in Jim Thompson's The Killer Inside Me the comic book. This comic book adaptation is flat and lacks the hard-boiled lyricism I found in The Grifters. There are some good moments when this comic book can be furious and edgy, but quite a bit of the narrative smothers any embers that the plot kicks up. The fifth issue of this adaptation is the only one that consistently, from the first page to the last, has that bad-ass burn of American “noir.”
Although this comic book is by no means a disaster, Jim Thompson's The Killer Inside Me could have been better. I don't know what qualifies Devin Faraci to adapt a Jim Thompson novel to comics, especially after IDW published comic book adaptations of Richard Stark's (Donald E. Westlake) Parker crime novels, written and drawn by the late Darwyn Cooke, one of the best comic book creators of the last 20 years. There is something about Faraci's adaptation that seems to accept that it is inherently an inferior work.
Even Vic Malhotra's illustrations and graphic storytelling often come across as flat, even listless, unable to convey the power of the original story. Colorist Jason Millet's simmering hues do more to convey Jim Thompson's heat than any other contributor to this comic book. Christa Miesner's lettering is not spectacular, but creates a nice rhythm for the story.
While I have mixed feelings about Jim Thompson's The Killer Inside Me the comic book, I can recommend this trade paperback to comic book readers who are always looking for comic books adapted from novels.

Review: MAGE BOOK THREE The Hero Denied #1
MAGE, BOOK THREE: THE HERO DENIED No. 1
IMAGE COMICS – @ImageComics
[This review was originally posted on Patreon.]
WRITER/ARTIST: Matt Wagner
COLORS: Brennan Wagner
LETTERS: Dave Lanphear
28pp, Color, $3.99 U.S. (August 2017)
Rated “T/ Teen Plus”
Chapter 01 “What's Past Is Prologue”
Written and drawn by Matt Wagner (Grendel), Mage is a fantasy comic book series with superhero elements. The series will be comprised of three volumes, each running 15 issues. The first was Mage: The Hero Discovered, which was published by defunct publisher, Comico the Comic Company, from 1984 to 1986. The second was Mage: The Hero Defined, which was published from 1997 to 1999 by Image Comics.
Image Comics recently began publication of the third and final volume, Mage: The Hero Denied. It is written and drawn by Matt Wagner; colored by Brennan Wagner; and lettered by Dave Lanphear.
The Hero Discovered introduced Kevin Matchstick, an alienated young man who meets a wizard called Mirth. Kevin discovers that he has superhuman abilities and that a magic baseball bat wielded by a friend actually belongs to him. That bat is Excalibur, and Kevin represents King Arthur.
The Hero Defined takes place several years later and finds Kevin fighting supernatural menaces in the company of other heroes. Kevin discovers that he has misunderstood his mission and that he represents more than one mythical hero. Kevin is also Gilgamesh, and he initially does not realize that his new mage/mentor is an old tramp named Wally Ut whom Kevin often chooses to dismiss as a crazy old annoyance. Kevin also meets his future wife.
Mage, Book Three: The Hero Denied, #1 (“What's Past Is Prologue”) finds Kevin Matchstick living in suburban splendor with his wife Magda; son, Hugo; and preschool daughter, Miranda. It has been years since his last adventure combating the forces of dark magic. Now, some dark magic ruffians have found him and so has a powerful adversary.
It is good to have Mage back. I find that The Hero Denied seems more like The Hero Discovered than it does as The Hero Defined – at least after one issue. Everything about it, the shimmering, rich colors; the structure of the plot; the settings; and the villains: all recall the spirit of the original series. That's what I want; nothing against The Hero Defined, but the original Mage is still close to my heart. It was one of the first independent comic books that I ever read. It was also one of the first magical fantasy comic books I had ever seen. In fact, the original seemed infused with magic.
So we are in the very early stages of The Hero Denied, but this feels right. It is a call home to the foundation of Mage, so I'm calling Mage fans back to this series. Since this is the first issue, I'll be a bit conservative with my grade.
