A Body Beneath

In A Body Beneath, Michael DeForge crafts a singular, unsettling vision for Koyama Press, published since 2014. This single-issue comic immerses readers in a surreal, grotesque world where a mysterious subterranean entity reshapes the lives of those above it. DeForge’s distinctive, intricate linework and off-kilter storytelling mark this as a standout example of his influential, avant-garde approach to comics. It matters as a concentrated dose of his unique artistic voice, exploring body horror and urban decay with dark humor.
