About the series
In the late '90s, DC Comics took a sharp, satirical turn into absurdist teen comedy with Gross Point, a 14-issue series that gleefully skewered superhero tropes and suburban ennui. Written primarily by Matt Wayne, Dan Slott, and Lisa Trusiani, with art from Joe Staton, Roger Langridge, and Bill Alger, the book followed a group of misfit high school students who stumbled into bizarre, often grotesque adventures—a witty, low-stakes antidote to the era's grim-and-gritty mainstream. Its madcap tone and self-aware humor made it a cult favorite for readers who wanted their comics weird, smart, and unapologetically silly.
