Arsenic Lullaby 

Bio

Now celebrating it's tenth year, the dark humor cult favorite, Arsenic Lullaby is perhaps the best humor comic of the last decade.  It has been nominated for several national and international awards including the comic book industries top two awards,  the Harvey award and the Eisner award. 

Aside from critical acclaim, and a rabid readership, it has also garnered attention overseas.  The Greek Publisher Jemma Press purchased the rights to translate and publish the Arsenic Lullaby collection in greek.  ΔΗΛΗΤΗΡΙΩΔΕΣ ΝΑΝΟΥΡΙΣΜΑ as it is titled across the pond is now in it's second year of publication.

 Know for combining an acerbic dry wit, down to earth personalities with absurd premises, Arsenic Lullaby is a crowd pleaser on any level you wish to judge.  Heart, impact, shock, precision, are all well worn tools used in crafting each issue. IN an age where publishers have dropped like flies and independent publishers fallen the hardest, Arsenic Lullaby continues to grow thanks to it's shear quality.  perhaps Warren Ellis said it best "God help me, it made me smile."
