Subliminal Tattoos

A quiet but persistent cult hit, Subliminal Tattoos is a series of eight comics by writer-artist Robert DuPree, launched in 1994 and continuing to the present. Each issue offers a standalone, often surreal story that explores the hidden messages and unintended consequences of ink on skin. DuPree’s singular, lo-fi art and deadpan storytelling make this a unique artifact of 1990s independent comics, rewarding patient readers with its offbeat, philosophical take on identity and permanence.
