Scuz About Town

A single-issue, black-and-white comic from Fantagraphics (1992), Scuz About Town is a gritty, humorous slice-of-life by Bob Fingerman. It follows the misadventures of a slacker named Scuz as he navigates the seedy underbelly of New York City, blending crude comedy with a raw, underground sensibility. Though brief, this debut issue captures Fingerman's distinctive, detailed linework and his penchant for depicting urban decay with a sardonic eye. It stands as a early, unpolished snapshot of a creator who would go on to define a particular strain of alternative comics.
