Raisin Pie

Over five issues published by Fantagraphics from 2002 to 2007, Raisin Pie is a singular creation by writer-artist Rick Altergott, blending deadpan absurdity with a keen eye for the mundane. The series follows the misadventures of a group of eccentric characters navigating a surreal, often unsettling version of small-town America. Altergott’s distinctive, clean linework and off-kilter humor give the book a cult-classic feel, making it a quietly essential artifact of early-2000s alternative comics.
