![]() There’s a number of great reads there, but if you only have time for one, I’d go with the award-winning “His Face All Red.” That one’s got a dark, folksy, Tom Waits sort of vibe, and uses the webcomic medium to good effect. Scrolling down, you can read a selection of webcomics, which I heartily recommend. Which is a bit more grotesque than most of her work. When you visit her website, for example (that’s ), you’re greeted by this charming sight: And she has a preoccupation with body horror that Gorey just can’t match. ![]() But Carroll’s work is wilder, scarier, less mannered. I’ve seen her work compared to Edward Gorey, which I can understand. ![]() She tends to lurk at the intersection of horror and folklore, with a fine appreciation of the weird and a slightly off-kilter approach that often takes her stories down roads less-traveled. Until today, that is…Įmily Carroll is one of those cartoonists whose work just kind of speaks to me. ![]() So it was kind of a lackluster week for comics. ![]()
