The Fellowship was fortunate enough to obtain a copy of TALES OF THE BUDDHA (Before He Got Enlightened) from Renegade Arts Entertainment. Alan
Grant writes, and Jon Haward draws.
Every hero has a beginning. Even the religious ones. And
everyone makes choices in youth that they may or may not be proud of. So if the
Buddha happened to choose to roam the world drinking, smoking weed and trying
to score with the ladies, what of it? He’d probably meet up with other
religious leaders, get into trouble and somehow get himself out of it again.
Right?
So this book would have us believe. And as long as you don’t
take religion too seriously, it does a hilarious job of it. It’s a collection
of strips that holds nothing back; it pokes fun at just about everything,
including Elvis, Conan the Barbarian and Hollywood .
You name the historical era, and the Buddha is there, partying in his own
pre-enlightened way.
If you’re up for a wild, drugged-out, sex-crazed ride, this
is the book for you. It’s pretty crazy, but it’s really quite funny.
TALES OF THE BUDDHA is available now at your FLCS or by
order from renegadeartsentertainment.com.
