Way Out Strips

Carol Swain’s Way Out Strips is a four-issue series from the late 1980s and early 1990s, published by an independent press. Entirely written and drawn by Swain, the collection presents her distinctive, offbeat black-and-white comic strips, offering a window into the quirky, personal storytelling that defined the alternative comics scene of the era. It’s a vital artifact of Swain’s singular voice in small-press comics.
