Cochlea & Eustachia

Hans Rickheit's Cochlea & Eustachia, a one-issue series from Fantagraphics in 2014, follows two bizarre, silent characters through a surreal, wordless narrative of grotesque body horror and unsettling imagery. Known for his intricate, crosshatched black-and-white artwork, Rickheit crafts a claustrophobic atmosphere that feels both medieval and dreamlike. This single, dense comic stands as a striking artifact of his singular, uncompromising vision in the alternative comics landscape.
