Why Do They Kill Me?

A single-issue comic from Fantagraphics, Why Do They Kill Me? (2005–present) is a stark, introspective work by writer-artist Tim Kreider. It explores the uncomfortable psychology of empathy and violence, using a deceptively simple visual style to examine how we relate to those who harm us. The series matters as a concise, powerful example of Kreider’s distinctive voice in alternative comics.
