Dark Ivory

In the early 2000s, artist Joseph Michael Linsner launched Dark Ivory through his own Linsner.Com imprint, a self-published series that has remained a singular, ongoing passion project. Centered on the enigmatic gothic heroine Dark Ivory, the comic blends lush, romantic fantasy with a dark, ethereal aesthetic, entirely defined by Linsner’s distinctive painted style. Though only a single issue has been released to date, the series stands as a cult artifact of creator-owned comics, showcasing Linsner’s dedication to a personal vision outside the mainstream.
