Barely Human

A darkly comedic sci-fi series from Fantagraphics, Barely Human (2022–present) follows a disaffected office worker who discovers his coworkers are all androids—and that he might be one too. The debut issue, written and illustrated by Annie Mok, blends deadpan workplace satire with existential dread, questioning what it means to be human in a world of emotional automation. Mok’s scratchy, expressive art style and sharp dialogue give the series a distinctive, offbeat voice that resonates with fans of indie and alternative comics.
