Violenzia and Other Deadly Amusements

In this 2015 graphic novel from Fantagraphics, Richard Sala presents a collection of his macabre and darkly humorous short stories. The title piece follows the monstrous Violenzia, a woman whose deadly appetites lead her through a gothic landscape of violence and absurdity. Sala, the sole creator, showcases his signature scratchy, expressive linework and love for pulp-inspired horror, making this a concentrated dose of his singular, unsettling vision.
