Vice

Published from 2009 to 2011 by Double Fantasy Team, Vice is a 24-issue anthology series that channels the raw, transgressive energy of its creators. Most closely associated with the boundary-pushing work of Shintaro Kago and Johnny Ryan, the comic blends surreal Japanese horror-comedy with Ryan's signature scatological and absurdist humor. A cult artifact of the late-2000s alt-comics scene, it stands as a chaotic, unflinching collaboration between two masters of the grotesque.
