Beyond the Pale! Krazed Komics and Stories

Kim Deitch’s Beyond the Pale! Krazed Komics and Stories is a singular, ongoing Fantagraphics series that launched in 1989 with its first issue. A showcase for Deitch’s wildly imaginative and meticulously detailed storytelling, the series collects his idiosyncratic, often surreal tales that blur the line between autobiography, pulp history, and fever dream. While only one issue has been released to date, it stands as a vital document of Deitch’s unique voice in underground and alternative comics.
