Gigolo

Kurt Brugel’s Gigolo is a brief, two-issue series from Fantagraphics, launched in 1995, that explores the seedy, surreal underbelly of urban life through the eyes of a hustler. Known for its raw, expressionistic artwork and darkly comic tone, the series stands as a sharp, underground artifact of mid-90s alternative comics. Though short-lived, it captures Brugel’s distinctive voice and the publisher’s commitment to offbeat, creator-driven stories.
