Synopsis

Spanish cartoonist Joan Cornellà’s first book, the viciously funny Mox Nox, has struck such a nerve on social media that his Facebook page has garnered over one million fan followers, three-quarters of a million Instagram followers, and a quarter-million Twitter followers. Zonzo continues the tradition with 50 all-new strips of smiling psychopaths (human and anthropomorphic) and side-splitting, hand-painted, full-color farce.

About this title

About the Author:

Joan Cornella (b. 1981), is a Spanish cartoonist and illustrator.

Review:

“Cornella's art is easily identifiable, featuring six panels, black humor, and often violent situations. His are the comics where a man shoots himself in the head so that his blood spatter forms a cool mohawk.”
- The A.V. Club

“Zonzo is, in a word, appalling. It's a wonderful reminder that comics art can still be uniquely and creatively obscene.”
- Vulture

“Cornella's handsomely designed third collection of queasy tableaux overflows with effervescent depravity.”
- Bookforum

“If you’re hoping for some comics that are as funny as they are disturbing and bizarre, look no further than the work of Joan Cornella, whose drawings invoke a lighthearted sensibility and an extremely dark sense of humor.”
- Flavorwire

“Cornella’s wordless one-page comic strips are uncompromising and brutally funny.”
- Broken Frontier
