Extra Issues – Fantagraphics #3: Stoner Comics – Dungeon Quest, Prison Pit, and Megg Mogg & Owl

Extra Issues

The Undigestible Zackum and Millenium Charlotte are covering three separate “stoner comics”:

– Dungeon Quest (available on Comixology, vol. 1-4)

– Prison Pit (available as a complete collection on Hoopla)

– Megg, Mogg, and Owl (read Megahex or Megg & Mogg in Amsterdam to start, then read your fill of other volumes)

Topics discussed:
– Is there a unifying theme to these comics or did Zack pull it out of thin air?
– Why does Prison Pit’s edginess work when so many other comics don’t?
– Is Megg, Mogg, and Owl just absurd cruelty or does it strike at something real and human?

Upcoming episodes in our Fantagraphics miniseries:
– My Favorite Thing is Monsters/ Monsters
– Black Hole/ Dementia 21
– Love & Rockets (Gilbert Hernandez)
– Love and Rockets Library Editions:
– Heartbreak Soup
– Human Diastrophism
– Beyond Palomar
