Career

His self-published comic Snake Oil won the 2008 Ignatz Awards for Outstanding Comic and Outstanding Series. His graphic novel The End of the F***ing World, "a modern ballad of angst and murder",[2] won the 2013 Ignatz Award for Outstanding Minicomic and was adapted in 2017 into a British TV series of the same name which ran for two seasons.[3]

The End of the F***ing World, I Am Not Okay with This and Celebrated Summer were published by Fantagraphics Books. All his other works, such as Revenger or Slasher, were either self-published, published by small publishers, or sold directly to online readers via Patreon.[1]

On June 10, 2019, it was announced that Netflix would produce a seven-episode series based on I Am Not Okay with This.[4] The series premiered on February 26, 2020.[5] Originally renewed for a second season, but Netflix canceled the series in August 2020, citing "circumstances related to the COVID-19 pandemic".[6]
