A new short story collection by Austin English, an innovative cartoonist and growing star in NY’s Chelsea gallery scene. Gulag Casual smashes faux-grotesque drawing into crude panels, with narratives that tease literary tropes all the while pushing the lexicon of comics further into the 21st century.

(Bridgeport)
2dcloud is a publisher of comic books, graphic novels and artist books based in Chicago, founded by Maggie Umber and Raighne Hogan in 2007. It is a different kind of label. Its structure is horizontal and peer-oriented. Artist and publisher work together as equals to create books which are extensions of the artist rather than products of commerce. The results are strange, complex, and unprecedentedly beautiful.
