WE HATE YOU, ENORMOUS LEERING SKULL
(After Mark Beyer)
4-page sample. The full strip appears in So I Guess My Body Pretty Much Hates Me Now, an autobiographical comic about living with multiple sclerosis that was voted “Best One-Shot” in the 2020 Broken Frontier awards. Thanks, Broken Frontier! This ongoing project started life during a postdoctoral residency in University of the Arts London’s Archives and Special Collections Centre at London College of Communication. A more recent strip was commissioned for the International Graphic Novels and Comics Conference 2020, and the next one will be appearing soon in Biography: An Interdisciplinary Quarterly.
