Revenge of the Oil Slick Ducks

Gary Cangemi’s Revenge of the Oil Slick Ducks, a two-issue series from Canew Ideas that began in 1991 and continues to the present, is a singular, creator-driven oddity in indie comics. Cangemi both writes and illustrates this ongoing project, which centers on a bizarre premise involving ducks transformed by an oil slick. Its sustained, sporadic publication over decades marks it as a personal labor of love, offering a uniquely weird and persistent voice from the early ’90s small-press scene.
