For years, Scott Koblish, an artist who has worked on both Marvel and DC comics including Deadpooland The Amazing Spider-Man, has been drawing four-panel comics that depict bizarre, cheeky, and increasingly ridiculous ways that he might perish. Now those comic strips are collected in a new book The Many Deaths of Scott Koblish, out now from Chronicle Books.

In a lot of ways the book seems to share the same goofy humor that makes Deadpool such a lovable character. But Koblish says it wasn't humor that inspired the project, it was fear.

"The origin of the book was just in my own clumsy attempts to come to grips with my own mortality," Koblish told Mashable. "I’ve had fearful thoughts about death and dying for years and there was a point where I was getting overwhelmed by them, so I started to ask — how can I get a hold of this? I draw all the time, mostly on comics for Marvel, and I thought I could try to use my talents to address my worries."

In the book, death does not come simply. In one comic, a meteor strikes earth and lands directly on the artist. In another, fairies grant Koblish the ability to fly... only for Koblish to get hit by an airplane once he's airborne.

"The best ideas usually wound up with me doing something incredibly stupid or petty, or scenarios where I received a wonderful gift but paid a terrible price for it, like in 'The Magic of Flight' or 'Change Comes From Within,'" Koblish explained. "There were so many times I started out with one idea and wound up with an unexpected twist or a turn, and those were the ones where the ones I had the most fun with."

And fortunately for Koblish, the comics have helped assuage his anxiety.

"It helped out to be able to laugh about it. Humor is always the best solution to terror," said Koblish.

The Many Deaths of Scott Koblish is out now from Chronicle Books. Check out a preview below.
