I tried a Porno Star Coloring Book first but it didn’t do it for me. Or anyone else. The thought of doing a \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pages\/The-Serial-Killer-Coloring-Book\/183339901677364\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eSerial Killer Coloring Book\u003c\/a\u003e intrigued me. It also mad me snicker a bit.  I bought a copy of Harold Schector’s A-Z Encyclopedia of Serial Killers and began reading the drawing. I thought it was fascinating and made it real simple and low quality like as if a serial killer or a mental patient would draw and write. After some bad national criticism of my execution from other Zines of the time I decided to make it an ongoing comic\/ fanzine and improve the quality of art even though they were the ones that missed the point. By the time the second issue $1.666 was finished I developed a following and the the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pages\/The-Serial-Killer-Coloring-Book\/183339901677364\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eSerial Killer Coloring Book \u003c\/a\u003efound it’s way to international distribution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI soon discovered an entire underground culture of serial killer enthusiasts (for lack of a better term). Most of us interested in the subject do not “love serial killers” or intend on sensationalizing the subject. We are interested in the intellectual and psychological aspects of serial murderers. I approach it with sarcasm and humor in my art and writings.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIssue #5  is the best of these. It features Mike Diana (Boiled Angel) interviewing G.J. Schaefer along with some fantastic illustrations by him. It also has Dr. Randall Phillips interviewing Jack Trawick, and a panoply of the filthiest members of the underground contributing art, writing, reviews and the like. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFeatures include interviews with G.J. Schaefer and Jack Trawick. An except from John Wayne Gacy's book, \"A Question of Doubt\", tons of film reviews. Amazing ads including a great full pager by Randall Phillips for Fuck!.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSeriously impressive stuff, and highly unlikely you're ever going to see one of these again.Even the Lulu.com reprints are long gone. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alarum Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48999494680884,"sku":null,"price":70.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0776\/4895\/3652\/files\/PXL_20260112_223219122.jpg?v=1768764336","url":"https:\/\/alarumbooks.com\/products\/serial-killer-coloring-book-5-rich-hillen-jr","provider":"Alarum Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
