    1st printing. Collects Red Room (2021 Fantagraphics) #1-4.

    Story and art by Ed Piskor.

    A cyberpunk, outlaw, splatterpunk masterpiece from the New York Times bestselling creator of Hip Hop Family Tree and X-Men: Grand Design!

    Aided by the anonymous dark web and nearly untraceable cryptocurrency, a criminal subculture has emerged. It livestreams murders as entertainment. Who are the killers? Who are the victims? Who is paying to watch? How to stop it?

    Red Room is constructed as a series of interconnected stories, shining a light on the characters who exist in the ugliest of corners in cyberspace. Piskor cuts the graphic horror with his sharp sense of humor, gorgeous cartooning, and dynamic storytelling. Red Room peels back the curtain on the side of humanity few of us knew existed, let alone understood. Fans and followers of Piskor's YouTube channel sensation, Cartoonist Kayfabe, have already made Red Room: The Antisocial Network one of the most eagerly anticipated and talked-about releases of 2021.

    It is the first in a series of graphic novels, with the second scheduled for release in Summer 2022.

    1st printing. Collects Red Room: Trigger Warnings (2021 Fantagraphics) #1-4.

    Story and art by Ed Piskor.

    The smash-hit, most-talked-about comic of 2021 is back with its second "season" and trade paperback!

    Collecting the four-issue comic book series Red Room: Trigger Warnings, with tons of extras!

    In this second Red Room collection, fan-favorite the Decimator presents... The Rat Queens! And unfortunately for them, they're front and center in the Decimator's most horrific red room broadcast yet! Also, hoodie horror comes to Red Room by way of the Punkinz: two sociopathic, aspiring red roomers who quickly make a name on the scene with their amateur snuff films. Fueled by a mutual passion and talent for murder, the young sweethearts aim to be the most notorious and wanted killers on the dark web...

    Plus, much more, including the island of Pitcairn, home to a native civilization that has been sacrificing their people to the gods for generations in hopes for a good crop season - until bitcoin pirates discover the uncharted island and hatch their own plans. The book also includes Piskor's exclusive "Director's Commentary" for virtually every page, tons of process art, sketchbook material, and other surprises exclusive to this collection.

    Red Room's first "season," The Antisocial Network, was the breakout smash-hit comic book series of 2021, with over a quarter-million copies sold of the series to date. Who are the red room killers? Who are the victims? Who's watching? Who can stop it? Trigger Warnings escalates the stakes, with Piskor pushing his masterpiece of modern horror in new directions and delivering the cyberpunk, outlaw, splatterpunk goods as no one else can.

    Reddest Rose: Romantic Love from the Ancient Greeks to Reality TV TPB (2023 FB) 1-1ST


    (see more images)

    1st printing.

    Story and art by Liv Stromquist.

    The internationally acclaimed activist follows up her satirical work of graphic medicine with this collection of humorous comics essays about how historical and societal shifts have altered - and perhaps destroyed - "romantic love."

    The deceptively simple through-line for Swedish media personality and activist Liv Strömquist's The Reddest Rose is the question: Why does Leonardo DiCaprio date an endless string of twentysomething models? Her answer - in the form of this collection of well-researched, humorous comics essays - tracks how philosophers and artists, from the Ancient Greeks to Beyoncé, conceptualized romantic love. Strömquist's signature interlocutor characters, drawn in a zine-y, flat, blocky style, ask each other questions and offer sharp commentary as they guide readers throughout history and the change in societies' values, from showing love/loving to getting love/being loved. (Poet Hilda "H.D." Doolittle - who was so love-stricken by a man taking off his glasses that she believed they viewed dolphins together in another dimension - lends the book its title.) Lord Byron, Socrates, Byung-Chul Han, Ezra Pound, Slavoj Žižek, Lou Andreas-Salomé, Ariadne, and many others make cameos.

    For the first time in English, in The Reddest Rose, Strömquist wonders: in a rationalist, consumerist world, can romantic love survive?

    Softcover, 7-in. x 9-in., 184 pages, B&W.
