Kill Your Boyfriend



Absconding from society, burning bridges with family and friends for a life of impulsive debauchery...

Ins't Anarchy Fun?

If you are a bored, ignored, and somewhat confused teenage suburbanite girl, then Anarchy may be the answer for you.

Kill your boyfriend is the story about one girl that simply decided to cut loose.

Why you should care:
Beautiful illustration... Themes: anarchy, alienation, teen angst, love, & parental ignorance.

Ah... la Anarquia! Que rico es olvidarse de la familia, basandose en ves en lazos de conveniencia y una vida sin limites... ¿Acaso eres una joven con demasiado tiempo en sus manos, sin mucho interes en la escuela o la vida que te brinda los suburbios? Es posible que la anarquia presente la mejor opcion para ti!

Porque habria de interesarte? Muy buena illustracion, y una tematica muy variada que incluye: anarquia, alienacion, juventud, amor y la ignorancia paternal.

The Nikopol Trilogy



The year is 2023, Alcide Nikopol has just returned to a fascist-governed Paris after a 30 year banishment and the gods of Egypt have returned to Earth demanding crude oil.

Yugoslavian Bilal's cyberpunk story invites parallels to be made with present times despite it's 1980 publish date. It begins like every good cyberpunk story with gripping mystery and intrigue and refuses to let go from there. The characters are post-modern, despicable chemically and genetically modified, sometimes immortal and yet all too human.

Matching it's story, Bilal's art paints a wispy, grimy, war-torn hellhole of a future and even with his varied uses of color, the panels maintain the dark character of a mortar-hewn chunk of asphalt from a back alley in the worst part of town.
