Johnny Ryan’s comics are raw, transgressive, and defiantly abrasive, pushing the boundaries of taste and taboo in ways few artists dare. Known for Angry Youth Comix and Prison Pit, his work blends grotesque humor, violent absurdity, and social satire with gleeful irreverence. Ryan uses shock not just for provocation, but as a tool to strip away pretense and expose the ridiculousness of cultural norms. His unfiltered style rejects polish in favor of energy and aggression, earning both praise and controversy. In the world of underground comix, Ryan stands as one of the genre’s most uncompromising voices.

2017 Comix Fantagraphics

Johnny Ryan’s A New Low collects some of his most outrageous and unapologetically crude comics, pushing the boundaries of satire, absurdity, and offensive humor. Known for his no-holds-barred approach, Ryan revels in the grotesque, skewering pop culture, social taboos, and authority figures with anarchic glee. This volume showcases his raw, unfiltered style, blending slapstick with biting commentary. Not for the faint of heart, A New Low is a deep dive into the chaotic, juvenile, and fearless world of one of underground comics’ most notorious creators.
