Erik Reichenbach was a two-time contestant on the hit reality television show Survivor. Although Erik is not an extremely popular contestant among fans and viewers, he’s notable for coming 5th place in both seasons. Outside of the TV realm, this Santa Clarita-based graphic artist has been creating picture books filled with wild characters since grade school.

His illustrations focus on the importance of imagination, a humbling sense of wonder, and our constant placement within a beautiful and overwhelming palette of emotions. You should check out there rest of his work here.

Misery City is a new surreal noir comic from Markosia Publishing in London. The illustrations, by Vassilis Gogtzilas, are beautifully daring and dark. The story is written by Kostas Zachopoulos and tells the tale of Max Murray, an unlucky trench coat detective, forever damned in the concrete labyrinth of Misery City. Hunted by Hell’s lurking horrors, he has to struggle to just remain in one piece.

Highly intelligent yet rather lifeless comics are always on the menu at PHD Comics. Piled Higher and Deeper is a comic series from the brain of Jorge Cham.

After getting his PhD in Mechanical Engineering at Stanford University, Cham went on to be a full-time instructor and researcher at the California Institute of Technology. As a result, these comics are very educational and well researched. Cham has kindly used his studies to educate the masses via these cleverly animated comics.

I don’t remember all that much about the Nietzsche that I’ve read. I do, however, remember the essence of The Family Circus, and I find it more nihilistic than anything old Friedrich wrote. If you swap out the grody familial schlock and put in some random Nietzsche quotes, it improves the comic considerably. I almost feel a little bad for Nietzsche. No one wants to be associated with the Family Circus like this.

Comic website The Joy of Tech made this hilariously accurate representation of what it would be like if Facebook made a real home. Residents of this house are sure to have their dirty laundry aired out for their neighbors to see, toilets that encourage you to post tons of crap, and even an Instagram camera built in to the dinner table so each meal is photographed for all to see. Quite an interesting social (network) commentary.

If you’re unfamiliar with The Comics Curmudgeon, the gist is that Josh reads the terrible daily strips so we don’t have to. But when he pointed out the ridiculousness of the opening panel to a recent Rex Morgan, M.D. one of his readers really rose to the occasion and created the Rexifier, adding the good doctor to any daily strip. Ziggy finally got funny.

If you like a good freak show along with comics, you need to check out Comic Con Denver. This year will be the second time it will be held here and this time Stan Lee will be there, along with many other well-known cartoonists. But half the fun is the people watching: fans lose all their inhibitions and dress accordingly.

Have you ever wondered what would happen if superheroes could lift themselves from the pages of comics and enforce justice? Well, thanks to Brazilian-based graphic designer Butcher Billy, you don’t have to. The series entitled The Superhero Media Crossover Project replaces actors in superhero movies with their original forms – 60′s and 70′s drawings of latex clad, crime fighters. We think it looks pretty rad. Which one is your favourite?

Working with vintage paper ephemera—comic books, victorian illustrations, magazines, prayer cards, and old dictionaries, Philadelphia-based collage artist Greg Ephemera Trout breathes new life into forgotten images. Each work captures a decisive moment in a narrative left almost entirely to the viewer’s imagination.

When the Chickens Revolt is a seriously sweet webcomic. Aptly described as the ‘combined insanity of Sam Keith and Jonathan Wayshak’, it is an ever-changing story that boggles the mind, confusing a reader in the best way. The artwork alone makes this webcomic worth checking out. Jonathan Wayshak, with his crazed style and intense attention to detail, makes this comic a treat for the eyes.

Comic anthologies are a great way to be introduced to a variety of artists, whether they’re legends in the industry or new and upcoming. Horror anthologies, however, are a breed all in their own. The trend is coming back and it’s well deserved. I am thrilled. Ghosts #1 features brilliant work from Paul Pope, Rufus Dayglo, and more.

Long considered the art world’s Clown Prince of Crime — actually, that’s totally made up — Mitch O’Connell combines a Lichtenstein-like philosophy with Dick Dale’s surfer sensibility. No, really. O’Connell’s versatility, ranging in styles from the graphic to the realistic, combined with a sense of humor best described as “fart joke mod,” make the truly cerebral nature of his work that much more entertaining.

His blog offers many interesting and often laughingly disturbing collections to pieces out of his own personal collection of art, including Sex in Comics! The top 100 strangest, suggestive and steamy vintage comic book panels of all time, The 1000 Most Bizarre Batman Photos EVER!, and CLOWN ART! The top 100 most disturbing paintings EVER!

Powerpaola was part of the same residency in Brazil myself. We had a lot of fun drawing together at one table. Her work and sketchbooks are wonderful and her output is incredible. She made a comic book called Virus Tropical about her first 18 years of life, which I am looking forward to reading soon.

How many dates happen every night in New York City? Some of them might be perfect and romantic. Some of them might be awkward or ridiculous. Some of them might be worth telling. This project started with a bunch of friends sharing their most memorable dates in comic strips. If you have a good story, please share.

Anne Emond’s honest, clever, and hilarious comics tap into the slow-burning insanity and isolation that is modern living and modern culture. Totally rad.

If you’re a fan of the weird and wonderful, you’d be stupid not to check out the work of Murray Somerville. His quirky illustrations transport you to a surreal and humorous world, and have appeared across a range of zines, comics, t-shirts and even Becks bottles.

Could it be that America’s foremost superhero is turning his back on the country that made him fly? In more ways than one. It’s been reported that in The Incident, a short story in Action Comics #900, the caped crusader (no, not that one) tires of the political mess he’s embedded in and decides ‘to continue working as a superhero from a more global than national perspective’. How it plays out from here? Only Xray vision will reveal.

Old City Blues is a cyberpunk mystery comic with the mood of a Noir tale, the fast-and-furious action of Japanese animation, and kinetic artwork that reads more like a big-budget sci-fi movie than a comic book. Old City Blues tells the story of a futuristic Athens, Greece, and the police force that navigates through the criminal life that dwells in it. Think Moebius and Paul Pope collaborating on a southeastern European blend of ‘Blade Runner’ and ‘Akira’, but with more giant robots.

Somehow, writer/artist Giannis Milonogiannis pulls all of this off with the finesse of an illustrator with much more comics experience. OCB will be available in print for the first time this June from Archaia Comics, but you can read a good chunk of the series free on the OCB website.
