Bleeding Heart

Peter Kuper’s Bleeding Heart (1991–1993) is a five-issue series from Fantagraphics that stands as a raw, personal showcase of his early 1990s work. Written and drawn entirely by Kuper, the series blends his signature scratchboard style with politically charged narratives and surreal, often autobiographical vignettes. It’s a vital document of an alternative-comics era, capturing Kuper’s transition from underground comix to a more polished, visceral storytelling voice.
