Image Firsts: Farmhand

Rob Guillory’s Farmhand is a darkly humorous, body-horror-infused series from Image Comics, launched in 2022. It follows a man who returns to his family’s farm, only to discover they’ve been growing replacement body parts from a strange, sentient plant. Guillory, best known for his work on Chew, serves as both writer and artist, bringing his signature blend of offbeat charm and grotesque detail to this unsettling rural tale. The series matters for its inventive, visceral take on family secrets and the high cost of medical miracles.
