Gutter Rat

In 1993, Caliber Press launched Gutter Rat, a single-issue comic by Mark Masztal that stands as a stark, self-contained artifact of the early '90s indie comics scene. The series follows its titular, grimy anti-hero through a gritty urban landscape, with Masztal's art defining the book's raw, underground aesthetic. Though brief, it captures the era's fascination with dark, street-level storytelling outside the mainstream.
