The Milkman Murders by Joe Casey and Steve Parkhouse
Requirements: CBR Reader, 184 MB
Overview: The most horrific of all Dark Horse’s new brand of horror comics comes from the mind of Joe Casey—mainstream superstar and visionary, alternative voice —and Steve Parkhouse, who exposed the absurd side of British suburban life in his collaboration with Alan Moore on The Bojeffries Saga, and later took on global madness in Grant Morrison’s The Invisibles. Now the two turn their attention to the depraved American suburb, where a forlorn housewife faces facts about the American Dream. The unraveling of her hopes leads to unprecedented terror, heralded by a demonic vision from some twisted parody of a Norman Rockwell image as painted by serial-killing folk-artist John Wayne Gacy—The Milkman.

"The milk in this extremist suburban nightmare got its pallor from being bled white, and instead of crying over it being spilt, I found myself cringing. Neighbor, pull the drapes of your mind's eye while you still can." -- by Gary Butler, Rue Morgue Magazine.

Genre: Comics, Crime, Horror-Terror, Digital, Mature Reader.

Dark Horse editor Scott Allie likens The Milkman Murders to a horror story in his introduction. He says horror is more an emotion than a genre, and that Casey and Parkhouse capitlize on this idea as their story tragically, gruesomely unfolds. Barbara Vale is a typical suburban housewife whose middleclass dream has become a nightmare. She tries vainly to prod her family “into the light” as it is represented on television, until a personal incident clarifies the futility of her efforts. Unable to go up, she instead spirals downward into the kind of insanity we read about all to frequently in our daily newspapers. Horror indeed.

Casey’s characters at first seem clichés, but only if they were given some 21st century version of “they all lived happily ever after” ending. Instead, Casey chooses them to follow a path established by their own nature, allowing each to remain true until the very end. Closer examination suggests they are nuclear family archetypes after the bomb has dropped and survivors have begun to mutate. Like Married With Children gone from bad to worse, they squabble, toil away at meaningless genric jobs, existing rather than living in suburbia.

Parkhouse’s figures have distinct cartoon quality, but this perhaps reinforces the idea that they are caricatures drawn from everyday life. Part of the charm of his artwork is the background subtleties, such as a detergent that promises “a whiter nation,” suggesting that Barbara Vale’s middleclass dream isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. Instead of wondering why Barbara Vale takes her untimate path, it left me wondering why it didn’t happen sooner.
