Tiny Acts of Violence

In Tiny Acts of Violence (2020–present, A14), Martin Stiff crafts a taut, single-issue comic that explores the quiet, everyday cruelties that simmer beneath polite society. This debut issue sets a measured, unsettling tone, hinting at the weight of small decisions and their ripple effects. Stiff’s precise, atmospheric art grounds the story in a world where tension builds in the spaces between words and actions. A promising, self-contained start to what may be a series about the power of the unspoken.
