Hardthrob

From 1996, Fantagraphics published Hardthrob, a two-issue series written and drawn by John Blackburn. The comic follows Coley Cochran, a character navigating a surreal, off-kilter world that showcases Blackburn's distinctive, often grotesque cartooning style. A cult oddity from the alternative comics scene, Hardthrob matters as a concentrated burst of Blackburn's singular, unapologetically weird vision.
