The Bird is a hand-painted comic about schizophrenia, superheroes, and trapdoors that won't shut.
TweetWhen I was a kid, my Dad had a box of silver age Marvel comics that I read and reread ad nauseum. Later in my life I worked in a psychiatric hospital. This experience and other people with mental illness I have met has led me to believe that the media misrepresents schizophrenics pretty badly. This comic is a mix of those two elements: hopefully as fun and imaginative as the superhero comics of the silver age, but also grounded in the reality of day to day life with mental illness. With a little Lovecraftian horror-fantasy mixed in for good measure. Let me know what you think
Each issue is 24 pages long and is available here in full, if I get enough interest, i'll get it printed. If you are interested in buying a print version, email me at finkbart@gmail.com or through social media, and I will send out notifications when I'm ready to do a run of them.
