\nIN PRAISE OF ADAM GRIFFITHS<\/span><\/p>\n

Comic Riffs<\/span> could readily see his eye-catching gouaches hanging in a gallery exhibiting macabre cartoonists, and his animation style might make even Beavis & Butt-Head<\/em>‘s creator say: “Kewwl!”<\/p>\n

Degen has come to such an incredible, fully realized idiom, at this point he might be to \u201890s anime what Jim Woodring is to Looney Tunes type stuff.<\/p>\n

Adam Griffiths creates deeply knotty comics. To read them is to unwind a bundle of block letters, bumpy, billowy artwork and sweeping invectives on society\u2019s ills\u2026 \u2026Griffiths has fearlessly tackled the Big Stuff\u2014sex, politics, gender, race\u2014through circuitous and speculative science fiction. Needless to say, Griffiths\u2019s work is complicated and dense and us comics readers are better off for it.<\/p>\n

– The Comics Journal<\/span><\/p>\n

Illustrated like a cross between the seminal \u201990s comic strip the Boondocks<\/em> and the squashed-and-stretched surrealism of Rocko\u2019s Modern Life<\/em>, the work blends the post-structuralist science fiction of German filmmaker Rainer Werner Fassbinder with a heavy dose of Japanese manga and anime.<\/p>\n
