Real Schmuck

Dennis Eichhorn and Jim Woodring collaborated on this single-issue comic from Starhead Comix, a raw slice of autobiographical storytelling that captures the gritty, confessional tone of early-1990s alternative comics. Eichhorn’s unflinching script pairs with Woodring’s distinctive, surreal-yet-grounding art to create a brief but potent character study. Though it stands alone, Real Schmuck remains a notable artifact of the era’s indie scene, showcasing two idiosyncratic talents at work.
