Amazon.com Review

Is the conspiracy bug getting to you, too? If not, it soon will, especially after you check out The Big Book of the Unexplained, the companion book to The Big Book of Conspiracies. Self-proclaimed conspiracy nut Doug Moench is joined by a variety of comics artists such as Joe Sacco, J. H. Williams, Paul Gulacy, Brent Anderson, Russ Heath, and Gahan Wilson to present new tales of strange phenomena, bizarre happenings, and mysterious goings-on. And if you're bummed out about the Loch Ness monster hoax, get ready for the new "could-be" monster: La Chupacabra. Haven't heard of this creature? Then go ahead, buy this book.

A good starting point with 41 Stories of Different Unexplained Phenomena
While I am used to Doug Moench work with Moon Knight with Marvel comics back in the 80s, he and some 40 other artists did this book, which I would call a good starting point for those who want to read or also share some campfire stories with others on unexplained phenomena that has been documented. An adult or a child can easily follow this book. Yes, it is done in comic book style, but every story is done is drawn in a different style which makes this book one of those you actually want to look at and read. It also has a bibliography at the end so it sources were they stories were collected from. I've come to pick it up over and over again to go down those rabbit holes when I am looking for some type of entertainment.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Concise, well-researched and entertaining - this RULES.
    Reviewed in the United States on September 13, 2011
    Just love The Big Book of the Unexplained and most work by Doug Moench. My favorites here are "The Kentucky Goblin Spree!","El Chupacabras", and "Bigfoot Alien Connection", proving Moench and these many fine comic artists aren't afraid to go to risky or P.I. places in search of the unknown. Charles Fort was an amazing researcher, ahead of his time, and (along with Nick Pope) the forerunner/prototype for Fox Mulder et al. I like how they allow the unexplained to remain so, even while relaying information very clearly in a comics format. As frustrating as it is to not have the answers to so many phenomena and odd critters, this book and comics format make it well worth the ride. A must-have for adults and kids who are curious about our mysterious world. We need mystery in our lives and this is a good place to start looking...

    5.0 out of 5 stars Not Meant to Win Over People in Denial
    Reviewed in the United States on June 15, 2001
    This book is usually advertised as a companion to the Big Book of Conspiracies. Although both are written by Doug Moench, this is not really true. There IS some crossover (for example the BBOC deals with some supposed coverups of UFOs, and UFOs are featured prominently in this book), but only superficially.
    As noted by one harsh reviewer below, this book does not go very far into presenting evidence. However, I know that many of the stories covered in this book are actually just as well-documented as most historical facts having read about them elsewhere (in fact, when I lived in Waterloo, Ontario, I lived down the block from the owner of the famous crystal skull depicted in one of these stories). And if you require more proof, there is an extensive bibliography. What Doug Moench does is use his limited space (the comic book format is not very good for presenting vast reams of evidence) to give a nice overall picture of paranormal mysteries. He even manages to point out various patterns, connecting together incidents usually only covered in isolation. And this is an important contribution, after all by now people who actually pay attention to evidence should have reached the point where they are more interested in understanding the phenonmena described instead of just trying to justify their beliefs. Of course, some of the stories herein are based merely on testimony given by witnesses, but eyewitness testimony is considered the strongest form of evidence by the courts and is still enough to get people sentenced to jail for life in this country (meanwhile fingerprints are only circumstantial). What matters is the credibility of the witnesses, how many unconnected individuals corroborate each other, and whether or not there is an ulterior motive for such testimony. Besides it would be ridiculous to reject all data on the basis of a few charlatans (after all we still believe in science depsite apparent hoaxes like cold fusion). And for every redneck there is still the occassional Jimmy Carter and Neil Armstrong who have also reported witnessing UFOs. If all people could be so readily dismissed for what they say or write on other subjects, no field of knowledge (history, science, etc.) could exist! But I prefer to be amongst the camp of people who, e.g., do not have to personally build and explode atom bombs or travel back in time 56 years to Japan to believe that the bombing of Hiroshima occured (the photographs, consistent testimony, etc., is enough for me). This book does (and it admits so) go out on the limb occassionally, but it does also point out some incontrovertible facts that skeptics just choose to ignore. But even if you lean more towards skepticism, this is a highly entertaining and well-illustrated book that is far more credible than the Warren Commission or most newspaper coverage of the Middle-East.

    If I had known this was a mere comic book I wouldn't have bought it. I was looking for another trivia book and saw this and ordered it. I have learned my lesson. Don't buy anymore that have more illustrations or comics that actual information. Can't believe I wasted money on this book. It's rare for me to dislike a book I buy so much but I wish I hadn't bought this one.

    OK, I can. :-) Yet another "big book." This not my favorite in the series, mostly because it's not historical, but more the cartooning of the hysterical. Bigfoot, UFO's, ghost sightings, etc. That's not my cup of tea. If you like the Factoid Books and like this sort of things, by all means, this deserves a spot on your bookshelf. However, if you're considering a "Big Book of..." try one of the others first.
