A Disturbing Evening and Other Stories

A single, haunting issue from 1978, A Disturbing Evening and Other Stories is the debut work by Mark Beyer, a singular voice in underground and alternative comics. The book collects a series of stark, minimalist tales that explore urban anxiety and existential dread with a deadpan, almost childlike art style. Its raw, unflinching vision marked Beyer as a distinctive talent, and the issue remains a key artifact of the era's independent comics scene.
