Pop Gun War

Pop Gun War, launched by Kymera Press in 2005, is a singular, self-contained comic that follows a young boy in a gritty urban landscape who discovers he can talk to inanimate objects—including a discarded doll and a gun. Written and drawn by Farel Dalrymple, the series is a quietly surreal, emotionally resonant exploration of childhood, poverty, and the weight of small, impossible wishes. Though only one issue long, its haunting, watercolor-infused art and dreamlike storytelling have made it a cult touchstone for readers seeking intimate, offbeat fantasy.
