Final Girl

From 2007 onward, Antarctic Press’s Final Girl ran for five issues, a horror-comedy series written primarily by David Hutchison, Joe Wight, and Lee Duhig, with Hutchison also serving as its most frequent artist. The comic plays with slasher-film tropes, centering on a resourceful young woman who keeps surviving encounters with a masked killer, blending bloody mayhem with a knowing, darkly humorous tone. It matters as a cult-favorite indie take on the resilient female archetype, delivering gory action and meta-commentary from a small-press perspective.
