How Loathsome

Tristan Crane and Ted Naifeh's How Loathsome is a single-issue, black-and-white comic from NBM, published in 2004. It introduces a gothic, punk-infused world centered on a misanthropic young woman navigating a bleak, surreal urban landscape. Though brief, the issue stands as a cult artifact of the early 2000s alternative comics scene, showcasing Naifeh's moody, expressive art and Crane's raw, confessional storytelling. Its singular, self-contained vision makes it a distinctive, if fleeting, entry in the publisher's catalog.
