A new short story collection by Austin English, an innovative cartoonist and growing star in NY’s Chelsea gallery scene.

"Austin English’s drawing is gelatinous, daubed, stroked, smeared, erased, redrawn, sculpted, twisted, cringes, flattens out as it squashes inward, maybe reminds one of a landscape and populace for Stravinsky folk songs, or a dream program for tragic Polish puppet plays, crowded, self-replicating and worth checking out." Gary Panter

Gulag Casual smashes faux-grotesque drawing into crude panels, narratives tease literary tropes all the while pushing the lexicon of comics further into the 21st century." Esther Pearl Watson

"Beautiful minimalist portraits." The Comics Journal

"Genius." Giant Robot Magazine
