A collection of all-new satirical short fictional comics by the great Joe Sacco

Joe Sacco is renowned for his non-fiction books of comics journalism like Palestine, Safe Area Gorazde and Footnotes in Gaza. Now in Bumf he returns to his early days as a satirist and underground cartoonist. In the vein of the old underground comix like ZAP or Weirdo, Bumf will be puerile, disgusting, and beyond redemption. It will go where it wants to go, and do what it wants to do. It will also be very funny.

Praise for Bumf

Vastly entertaining.

Rachel Cooke, Observer

It’s a book with an expert command of an abhorrent style – and in this is its substance.
