Vile and Miserable

By (author): Samuel Cantin

The indie comic classic that inspired the hit motion picture!

Lucius Vile is a demon condemned to work in a used car dealership-slash-bookstore. With coworkers who seemingly hate his guts, a therapist whose methods aren’t quite sound, an annoying new assistant named Daniel, and a sex life that could be kindly described as highly complicated, let’s just say things are getting a bit hectic for Lucius… But who cares, right? Because today, it’s Halloween, Lucius’s favorite day of the year.

Animated by an absurd and transgressive sense of humor, Vile and Miserable is raw, laugh-out-loud comedy of terrors for grown-ups.
