Blood Orange

In this four-issue anthology series from Fantagraphics (2004–2005), Blood Orange collects short, experimental comics from a rotating cast of artists including Andrew Brandou, Lark Pien, and Olivier Douzou, offering a snapshot of the alt-comics scene of the mid-2000s. Each issue presents a loose theme or mood, with a mix of surreal, quiet, and playful stories that highlight the distinctive voices of its contributors. Though brief, the series stands as a curious, small-press artifact that showcases the range of storytelling then emerging outside the mainstream.
