About the series
Peter Bagge’s satirical DC series Sweatshop (2003–present, 6 issues) skewers the comic book industry from the inside, following the misadventures of a hapless editorial assistant at a struggling publisher. With Bagge’s signature jagged, expressive art alongside Stephen DeStefano and Bill Wray, the series offers a cynical, hilarious, and oddly affectionate look at the creative chaos, corporate absurdity, and low pay that define life in the bullpen. It’s a sharp, insider’s critique that remains a cult touchstone for anyone who’s ever wondered what really goes on behind the panels.
