SPX 2014 Debut: The Fuglies

The Fuglies:

"A pair of genetically enhanced girls go on a rampage of murder and cannabilistic mayhem while being chased by the authorities through a wilderness populated by savage genetic freaks & horrific mutations. "

Steve Carter and Antoinette Rydyr as the collective S.C.A.R. have produced some of the most powerful Horror and Sci-fi comics to come out of Australia. Drawing inspiration from the themes and art of 50's and 60's genre comics and then taking it up several notches, The Fuglies is the perfect example of Steve and Antoinette's modern blend of hardcore Horror and Sci-Fi.

The Fuglies will be available at SPX in September and elsewhere soon after.

Pick up 104 pages of full colour S.C.A.R. in the Savage Bitch collection available now from Te Pikitia Press Store.

Pat Grant just dropped a beautiful slab of comic pages, more installments forthcoming I believe.

MOONBEARD Volume One  launches at SPX in mid September and will be available elsewhere immediately after. This handsome volume collects 120 pages of James's extremely popular and terrifyingly hilarious webcomic Moonbeard along with exclusive new comics.
