Savage Henry

Matt Howarth’s Savage Henry (1989–1993, Rip Off Press) is a surreal, sci-fi-tinged comic series following the misadventures of a hapless, chain-smoking everyman in a bizarre, often dystopian world. Over 17 issues, Howarth’s distinctive, fluid linework and offbeat humor created a cult-favorite blend of existential dread and absurdist comedy, marking a singular voice in the late-’80s/early-’90s indie comics landscape.
