Freaks' Amour

In 1992, Dark Horse launched this three-issue series, a surreal and gritty exploration of a world where sideshow freaks are both feared and commodified. Written by Tom De Haven, Dana Marie Andra, and Mark Burbey, with art by Phil Hester, it blends horror and social commentary in a way that feels both timeless and of its era. As a cult oddity from the early days of independent comics, Freaks' Amour remains a striking, uncomfortable artifact of Dark Horse's willingness to take risks on unconventional storytelling.
