APOLOGETICA is a sign of the times, a letter of regret, a feeble attempt, a collection of comics dealing with guilt, shame, martyrdom, jaguars, burning garbage, bad meat and fashion. It's the debut graphic novel by Toronto artist Ben O'Neil, 64 pages of all new stories!
--------------------------( REVIEWS )--------------------------
“Delivering a strikingly engrossing read, APOLOGETICA presents an eerily prescient vision: adorably grotesque martyrs, benevolent garbage islands, diminutive mansions and dubious meat. The scorched earth never looked SO good!”
— CHRIS KUZMA, author of Lunch Quest (2019, Koyama Press)
“Like bubble gum that keeps popping and doesn’t lose flavour, APOLOGETICA is a bazooka blast to the brain. A cynical cannon of fun and fluidity: it can get sticky, but not stuck; it can stretch and not fall apart.”
— LUKE RAMSEY, author of Intelligent Sentient? (2015, Drawn & Quarterly)
