Badly-Drawn Comics

Martha Keavney’s Badly-Drawn Comics ran for eight issues from 1998 to 2002, a singular, self-contained creator-owned series that fully showcased her distinctive writing and art. Published during the late-90s indie comics boom, the series is a raw, expressive work that earned a cult following for its unvarnished storytelling and deliberately rough-hewn visual style. Keavney’s unfiltered voice makes it a notable artifact of the era’s DIY ethos.
