Pixy creator and frequent Zero Zero contributor Max Andersson debuts the first comic book series of his career! Andersson's dark satire has been praised by Neil Gaiman and Alan Moore, and Death & Candy will show you why! The first issue features three hilarious and grim fairy tales. In "The Excavation," a man goes to visit his family, only to find ruins where his house once stood. Entering the site, he finds traces of human excrement, still warm; in "Wreck-Boy," the eponymous star sells himself to be used as a human depository for a bomb in order to buy a toy; and lastly, in "Car-Boy's Garden," Car-Boy buries his parents after a freak accident, only to find meat-trees grow in their place. Don't miss this creepy debut!

"...Death and Candy is an inky black universe where the grotesque and the humorous intersect amidst urban and organic decay.... There's something simultaneously nightmarish and affecting about Andersson's stuff." – Charles Austin, Dolomite

"What speaks to this reader ten years later is how emotionally satisfying on a primal, child-like level these highly complicated and ornately drawn stories can be, how much easier they are to read now as opposed to then when it seemed Andersson was making some of the strangest comics on earth. He wasn't; he was making normal comics very strangely." – Tom Spurgeon, The Comics Reporter
