Scum of the Earth

Jim Mahfood’s Scum of the Earth (2009–2010, 40 oz. Comics) is a two-issue, self-contained burst of grimy, punk-rock energy, written and drawn entirely by Mahfood. The series follows a scrappy, low-rent band navigating the chaotic underbelly of the music scene, with Mahfood’s signature frenetic linework and visceral, graffiti-inspired style bringing the grit to life. Though brief, it stands as a pure, unfiltered expression of the creator’s voice—a cult-favorite artifact for fans of his distinctive, underground comics aesthetic.
