Brian Chippendale, a founding member of the Fort Thunder collective, as well as a celebrated poster artist and rock drummer, has spent the past seven years of his life filling page after page of his journals with cryptic, frenetic, shockingly dense comics. Currently at roughly 1500 pages, Chippendale`s work flows seamlessly from fantasy to reality, until all boundaries are eradicated and the reader is, willingly or not, drawn into his waking-nightmare world. Equal parts autobiographical adventures, anarchist rants, enviro-political diatribes, sexual fantasies and oddly enough, vegan recipes, MAGGOTS is a challenging, powerful, brilliant work that is reminiscent of Jean Genet`s `Our Lady of the Flowers` in its sheer intensity of emotion.

The modern world has created a disconnect between the world outside the window and the world that is viewed on the screen. Brian Chippendale's new graphic novel addresses this problem; creating the fascinating new world of Grave City; here kids are hooked on computer games and obesity and inter social strife is rampant. A cafe is blown up in an act of terrorism. The reverberations of this deadly explosion are felt throughout the city as a growing darkness is manifested as both a spiritual and physical evil. But out of this sour stew comes a team of positive minded weirdos to sort things.

Both an epic 80-page graphic novel and a document of his vibrant drawings, collages and posters, Ninja is the first book by Fort Thunder co-founder and Lighting Bolt drummer Brian Chippendale. The graphic novel, a work 5 years in the making, takes readers through a fantastic landscape delineated in Chippendale’s dense pen and ink line-work and starring a Ninja hunted by the forces of evil. It functions as both a great fantasy story and a social allegory about an artist’s struggle with money, gentrification, and city politics. Nearly every massive comics page is drawn in a different elaborate style somewhere between Darger, Panter &amp; illuminated manuscript. In between each chapter of the story is a related section of fine art: from bright, exuberant paintings to visionary drawings to the posters for which Chippendale is internationally recognized. Half art book, half graphic novel, this collection is a unique adventure in art and comics.

"Chippendale's . . . obsessively detailed [comics] feel like [they've] been shot straight from his brain onto the page." -Village Voice Puke Force is social satire written dark and dense across Brian Chippendale's deconstructed multiverse of walking, talking M&amp;Ms, hamsters, and cycloptic-yet-glamorous trivia hosts. In scathingly funny single-page strips that build and build, he takes on social media narcissism, governmental propaganda, racism, and a culture of violence, skewering the malice of the right and the hypocrisies of the left. A bomb explodes in a coffee shop: the incident is played out over and over again from the perspective of each table in the shop, revisiting moments from ten and twenty years before. We see the inevitable as the characters bicker or celebrate, unaware of what's coming. Throughout this dystopic graphic novel, Chippendale uses humor and a frantic drawing style to show how the insidious nature of corporate greed and the commodification of everything have warped society into a killing machine. Sardonic and self-aware, Puke Force asks all the right questions, providing a startling and on-point take on contemporary social issues. Chippendale's artwork makes each panel a masterpiece of thrumming linework and lo-fi magic, as his storytelling wends and winds its way to a fascinating conclusion.
