The Outsider TP #1 (2026)

A family pushes through nearly impenetrable physical and psychic terrain in a metaphorical parable of life in the 21st century. A family treks with purpose and tenacity through a dense, primeval jungle, searching for…a respite…a goal…a home. They have been trekking for a long, long time. The jungle is a wasteland of viscera, grime, and rot. Within every darkened crevice is something waiting to kill, unless they kill first. Fungae is a story of struggle, of violence, of cruelty, but it is foremost a story of family, of fathers wanting their sons to be strong, of mothers wanting to nurture them in a hostile world. An electric collaboration between Polish animators and cartoonists Wojtek Wawszczyk and Tomasz Lew Lesniak propel this thrilling and horrifying survival tale. Lesniak’s textured and animated style conveys absurdist and intimately human moments, flickering like embers against the thickening miasma of abject privation. This is a story of the obduracy and fragility of human will. Fungae will grow on you.
