Sot

Joan Cornellà’s Sot is a single-issue comic from 2016 that distills his signature style of deadpan, grotesque humor into a series of wordless, unsettling vignettes. Published by the artist himself, this debut issue establishes the bleakly comic universe for which he is best known—a world of cheerful faces and horrific, absurd situations. A concise, potent introduction to Cornellà’s work, Sot matters as a pure, unfiltered dose of his darkly satirical vision.
