Scum of the Earth

A three-issue series from Action Lab Comics, Scum of the Earth (2014–present) is a gritty, character-driven crime saga written by Mark Bertolini and illustrated by Rob Croonenborghs. The story follows a small-time crook navigating the violent underbelly of a decaying city, blending raw, noir-tinged dialogue with Croonenborghs’ moody, expressive art. Though brief, it stands as a sharp, self-contained example of modern indie crime comics.
