THE ABCs OF MY DRUG PROBLEM
The ABCs is a harm-reduction-informed survival manual, a grief journal, and a love letter to staying alive. Rendered in candy-colored, Golden Book–style illustrations the book moves through underground SF, dumpsters, punk shows, and hospital beds with dark humor. This is not a redemption story, but does contain a sliver of hope.
This memoir is for readers of underground comics, graphic medicine, zinesters and anyone who grew up learning the alphabet the hard way.
Created by long-term collaborators Lee Black and P. Lei.

PREY PRAY
PREY PRAY is an unflinching autobiographical graphic memoir about stolen childhood innocence and the aftermath of trauma. In a small suburban town called Alameda, two children share interconnected stories of growing up. Prey Pray explores grooming, shame, survival, addiction, and grief, exposing the lasting damage of abuse while honoring the courage it takes to tell the truth. Some stories aren't about what happened. They're about what happened afterward.
