Cuckoo

Madison Clell’s Cuckoo (1996–2002) was a 13-issue series from Green Door Studios that followed the surreal, emotionally raw adventures of a young woman navigating queer identity, found family, and the strange undercurrents of everyday life. Clell’s distinctive, expressive art anchored the entire run, giving the book a consistent, intimate visual voice that helped define the studio’s early-2000s alternative-comics sensibility. A quietly influential work from the small-press era, Cuckoo stands as a testament to Clell’s singular vision and the power of personal, character-driven storytelling in independent comics.
