Self-Portrait Comic

Colin Upton’s Self-Portrait Comic is a singular, ongoing autobiographical series that began in 1988, with Upton serving as both writer and artist. Over the course of its run, the comic offers a raw, introspective glimpse into the creator’s life and thoughts, making it a distinctive entry in the underground and alternative comics scene. Its enduring, single-issue format underscores a deeply personal, long-term project that matters for its unflinching honesty and the intimate connection it forges between artist and reader.
