Alice Extreme

A seven-issue series from Fantagraphics (2003–2004), Alice Extreme is a surreal, adult-oriented reimagining of Lewis Carroll’s Wonderland, filtered through a distinctly manga-influenced sensibility. The series is most closely associated with artist Mashumaro Jyuubaori, whose bold, expressive style gives the familiar characters a visceral, often grotesque edge. It matters as a bold, creator-driven take on a classic, pushing the boundaries of how a beloved story can be deconstructed in comics form.
