My interest in Star Trek has wavered on and off since I first watched The Original Series in the 1970s. I am a big science fiction fan, and I especially enjoy scientifically minded authors in the genre like Greg Egan, Ted Chiang, Stephen Baxter, Phil ...more | |

'A Western World' is yet more evidence that Michael DeForge is one of the best cartoonists ever, an artist who stands alongside Chris Ware and Yuichi Yokoyama as my favorite right now working in this medium. His wryly humorous and bizarre pseudoscien ...more | |

There is no bigger name in manga (Japanese comics) than Osamu Tezuka, who is best known worldwide as the writer, illustrator, and creator of Astro Boy (Tetsuwan Atomu), but is far, far, far more than that. A prolific artist and writer who had a medic ...more | |

“Sometimes art is supposed to upset you"
"Why?"
"It might help you work through some of your own bad feelings or change how you look at yourself or something you're experiencing or somebody who know or once knew. And often, there're hidden messages in this kind of art that you don't see right away-so it can make you think, which is never a bad thing.”
― Hug Chickenpenny: The Panegyric of an Anomalous Child

"IT'S INSANE. I love it."
--Tim Seeley (Hack/Slash, Grayson)
"With DR. DIVINUS, Zahler arrives as a cartoonist fully formed. It's as if he's been doing this for twenty years. But it's only with this graphic novel, his first, that Zahler has turned his considerable creative talents toward comics. As a medium, comics should feel blessed."
--Benjamin Marra (Terror Assaulter, Night Business)
"S. Craig Zahler brings the same furious energy to his first graphic novel that he does to his music, movies and novels. Forbidden Surgeries of The Hideous Dr. Divinus is a deliberately paced weird horror story with punctuations of cruelty and uncomfortable hilarity." -- Josh Simmons (The Furry Trap, Black River)
"Zahler conjures the spirit of EC and weird visionary outlier comics but with way more story structure and momentum than those comics ever have. Comics is lucky to have his contribution to our medium!"
-- Dash Shaw (Bodyworld, Bottomless Belly Button)
"Zahler has produced something otherworldly ... with hints of those classic 80's underground B&W outlaw comics that we all love so much. This is something different and unexpected and I would highly recommend it!
-- Jim Mahfood, Grrl Scouts, Tank Girl, Into The Spider-Verse
Available for pre-order at:

“CORPUS CHROME, INC describes one of the weirder post-singularity futures. The characters are very much alive. I was entertained throughout.� —Larry Niven, multiple Hugo and Nebula award winning author of the Ringworld series
“[We fell] completely under Zahler’s spell, buying into his near-future world and becoming so involved in his characters� lives that, when the book ends, we are loath to leave these people and their world. A bravura literary performance.� —Dave Pitt, Booklist, Starred Review
“Zahler’s a fabulous story teller...�
—Kurt Russell, star of Escape from New York, Tombstone, Dark Blue, and Death Proof
"IT'S INSANE. I love it."

When is the next one coming ? ;)
