Every hero needs a villain.

But not all villains are dangerous. Some are incompetent, comical, or just … weird.

Comic book and graphic novel fans will want to get themselves to Eagle Harbor Book Company at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, April 6. Seattle-based cartoonist and author Jon Morris will visit to talk about his new book, “The Legion of Regrettable Supervillains: Oddball Criminals from Comic Book History.”

In this, his followup to “The League of Regrettable Superheroes,” Morris presents more than 100 of the strangest, most stupefying supervillains to ever see print in comics. Meet D-list rogues like Brickbat (choice of weapon: poisonous bricks), Robbing Hood (steals from the poor to give to the rich), Swarm (a crook made of bees – Nazi bees), and many more.

Drawing on the entire history of the medium, “The Legion of Regrettable Supervillains” affectionately and hilariously profiles oddball criminals from the history of comics.

Morris is a cartoonist, graphic designer and author. Since the late 1990s, he’s operated the blog Gone & Forgotten, an irreverent look at the lowliest and most unfortunate stories and characters comic books have offered. In 2001 he was invited to participate on a superheroes-themed episode of the public radio program “This American Life,” which remains a popular and frequently rebroadcast episode.
