The Snake / Urban Decay

Edward Morges and John T. Bergerud launched The Snake / Urban Decay in 1994 for Anubis Press, a single-issue comic that pairs Morges' writing and art with Bergerud's co-writing. The series offers a gritty, self-contained vision of urban blight and psychological decay, with Morges' distinctive visual storytelling anchoring its bleak atmosphere. Though brief, it stands as a concentrated artifact of the mid-90s indie comics scene, capturing a moment when creators pushed back against mainstream superheroics with raw, personal narratives.
