Stroppy #[nn]

Marc Bell's Stroppy arrives from Drawn & Quarterly as a wonderfully strange graphic novel, its cover dense with off-kilter machinery, bottles, signs, and a bewildered central figure in a blue jacket surrounded by small animated objects and cryptic labels — the kind of meticulously cluttered world only Bell could conjure. Every line, color, and letter in this 2015 release comes from Bell himself, making it a true solo vision rendered in his signature wobbly, detail-packed style. If you're drawn to comics that feel like they exist in their own quietly absurd universe, this one announces itself immediately.
