Prison Pit is an original graphic novel from the pen of Johnny Ryan, best known for his humor comic, Angry Youth Comix. Prison Pit represents a marked departure from AYC or his Blecky Yuckerella weekly comic strip, combining his love for WWE wrestling, Gary Panter’s “Jimbo” comics, and Kentaro Miura’s “Berserk” Manga into a brutal showcase of violence, survival and revenge.
The Prison Pit is a barren negative-zone populated by intergalactic, violent monster criminals who wage wars over slorges — giant slugs that excrete a steroid-like drug called “fecid” that all the monster men are addicted to.
