Orient Sexpress

Tayyar Ozkan’s Orient Sexpress is a four-issue comic series from Fantagraphics, launched in 2002, that blends surreal humor with a keen, often absurdist take on cultural stereotypes. Ozkan, who both writes and draws the series, populates its pages with a cast of eccentric characters navigating a world where the mundane and the bizarre collide. The series stands out for its unapologetically crude yet clever art style and its willingness to tackle provocative themes with a light, satirical touch. It’s a distinctive, cult-favorite entry in Ozkan’s body of work, showcasing his singular voice in alternative comics.
