I make comics. Usually they're scary. My book LITTLE VISITOR & OTHER ABDUCTIONS is available now from Oni Press.

I did a long in depth interview with Kris Bertin, writer of the great Hobtown series, about my new book, what compels me about aliens, working with the unknown, and of course: day jobs.

Give it a read,
@hobtown.bsky.social asks some great questions!

Ohhh yeah I did forget about that one. Didn’t really care for that character so I skipped it.

I dressed up as a 100 Bullets character for Halloween in freshman year of high school.

There must have been something they didn’t have time to get to in the first 100 issues

I think it’s really funny 100 Bullets is coming back. And I say this as a one-time lurker of the official DC comics 100 Bullets message board.

I’m not kidding when I say these weird ass costumes and antics are actually an extremely effective tactic from a media standpoint bc when enough people do them, the media can’t fully scrub them out

He stopped when he saw me staring at him so I didn’t have to say anything!

I had Farte Blanche!

Adam Szym @ NYCC booth A-35 @adamszym.bsky.social · 11h

That’s so true because in that moment I was already one of the suspects but so was everyone around me

Adam Szym @ NYCC booth A-35 @adamszym.bsky.social · 11h

I do need to fart really bad but I’m civilized, we live in a society etc

One fun thing to do when people over-confidently insist that you MUST be influenced by X or Y artist is to say you’ve never heard of them

Going up to people and saying, “Can I get a pic of your ‘stume?” and then explaining in a really belabored and annoying way over the course of about a minute that it’s short for costume.

The amount of people at NYCC on just a Thursday morning is pretty wild.

Adam Szym @ NYCC booth A-35 @adamszym.bsky.social · 1d

I’m watching Jeepers Creepers and it’s so close to being good but is mostly annoying.
