Book Reviews of Fishy-fleshed
Book Review: One of Mellick's best.
Summary: 5 Stars
Fishy Fleshed is the longest of Mellick's books that I have read. It's also his most ambitious.
This proves further that Mellick is a genuine story teller and doesn't simply rely on his strange visuals. Not that there is any shortage of bizarre imagery or razor sharp satire. Mellick seamlessly blends science fiction with surrealism to create his own unique voice.
This version of the book comes complete with the original text prior to translation. A must own for any fan of the Bizarro genre.
Summary of Fishy-fleshed
Fishy-fleshed is an illustrated collection of thought-logs from a child-like man living in the cartoonish future world of Ocean City, so technologically advanced that everyone possesses the ability to walk on water, cure diseases, clone food, and raise the dead . . . an entire civilization of Messiahs. When a team of researchers travel back in time to the days of the Real Messiah, they discover the past is a lot different than they imagined. It is an illogical flatland lacking in dimension and color, a sick-scape of crispy squid people wandering the desert for no apparent reason. Part science-fiction parody, part nightmarish absurdism, Fishy-fleshed is likely to leave a green-gray taste in your mouth.This volume includes both the English translation and the original Ywellish language text.
