“Illustrated Masterpiece” ‘Seven Easy Steps To Go To Hell’ Takes Twist on Sins

/in /by

New York, NY: Today, Humorist Books of Humorist Media announced a new book release: Seven Easy Steps To Go To Hell by Brandon Hicks.  Seven Easy Steps To Go To Hell is a humorous and beautifully illustrated book written and illustrated by acclaimed artist & cartoon editor Brandon Hicks. 

What you see is not always the whole picture, as you’ll learn on your journey to HELL!

Occupying the lowest rung on the demonic corporate ladder, Beezle, Buzzle, and Barb have the unenviable task of ensuring enough souls are going to Hell. Using their patented Seven Deadly Sins™ method, the trio explains how you can get yourself a one-way ticket. This beautifully illustrated book written and illustrated by acclaimed artist & cartoon editor Brandon Hicks.

“It’s a sinfully hilarious illustrated masterpiece” says Marty Dundics, CEO of Humorist Media and Editor-in-Chief of Weekly Humorist Magazine. “I think these characters have at least a few books in them and will adapt well to the adult animation boom happening today.”

“Brandon is one of my favorite cartoonists, always both very funny and very clever.  And now he’s giving me new ways to get to Hell?  I thought that I’d done them all!! Honestly, this is an exciting development.” says Kit Lively, MAD Magazine writer and author of ‘Twisted Tongues: Jokes, Comics, Facts, and Tongue Twisters’.

Brandon Hicks writes plays performed by real people, and draws cartoons performed by fake people. His work has appeared in Splitsider, The Syrup Trap, Weekly Humorist, American Bystander and regularly on The Rumpus, where he also serves as an associate cartoon editor. Unfortunately, he’s also Canadian.

Seven Easy Steps To Go To Hell will be available starting July 13, 2021, at 13.99 paperback and 5.99 e-book on Amazon.com and wide release to bookstores and web outlets. For more information on Seven Easy Steps To Go To Hell, visit  humoristbooks.com

Cartoonists around the country are making a point of making people laugh about the coronavirus at a time when many Americans are feeling anxiety and fear.

“Humor is very good at breaking the tension, humor is good in stressful times,” said Marty Dundics, CEO and Editor-in-Chief of the Weekly Humorist, a digital magazine that features cartoons and funny articles.

Dundics tells Yahoo Lifestyle that he has been getting many submissions from humorists about the coronavirus. He says the challenge is sifting through the content to find light-hearted content that taps into the things Americans are collectively experiencing right now.

“Jokes about working from home, jokes about having kids always around you. Jokes about having to wash your hand all the time, or touching your face,” he said. “There’s humor to be found there. So it’s about finding that stuff and trying to relieve the stress in those ways.”
