About the series
Based on the famously absurd supermarket tabloid, this 2010 miniseries from IDW brings the Weekly World News’s outlandish headlines to comic-book life. Over four issues, writer Chris Ryall and artist Alan Robinson channel the publication’s signature blend of cryptozoology, alien encounters, and deadpan conspiracy, all through the lens of its fictional reporters. It’s a loving, tongue-in-cheek tribute to the paper’s glorious legacy of bat-boy sightings and world’s largest vegetables.
