Tears of the Leather-bound Saints

Edition excerpt from Tears of the Leather-bound Saints (2020): A searing indictment of capitalism by one of the greats of contemporary comics. Casanova Frankenstein invades the straight world with his madcap ink line and macabre vision. When the author's coolly detached avatar gets fired from his shitty manual labor job, he spits bitter truths about insidious corporate greed and the soul-crushing rat race. From there, in a series of emotionally raw vignettes, he offers glimpses into his rough upbringing, from his dysfunctional home life to his childhood insecurities and racial anxieties—ultimately revealing the roots of his punk sensibility. A deeply vulnerable work from a true comics outsider. Tears of the Leather-bound Saints is part of the Fantagraphics Underground imprint.
