TAKE A JOKE

.

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.
