Pox Special

From 1985 to 1990, Epix published Pox Special, a 42-issue anthology series that showcased a distinctively eclectic mix of creators, with frequent contributions from writers Charlotte Magnusson and Larry Hancock, and artists Édika, Richard Corben, and Horacio Altuna. The series carved out a niche for itself by blending horror, fantasy, and surreal humor, offering a platform for both European and American talent to experiment beyond mainstream constraints. Its importance lies in its role as a creative crossroads during the late-80s indie boom, capturing a moment when anthology comics could still surprise readers with bold, unclassifiable stories.
