HELLO ALL YOU ROTTEN PUNKS!

My new graphic novel SHOCK CITY PUNKS has officially been unleashed upon the world to crack some brittle fascist skulls. Click HERE for a handy list of places to find it. (My personal favorite is Bookshop.org because all their sales benefit indie bookstores. But of course going to your favorite local shop is always the best.)

As always, thanks for supporting good weirdness!

The follow-up to the Tim-Burton-esque middle grade graphic novel that Max Brallier calls “Equal parts nightmarish and outrageously funny!”

Milo and Sunny may have saved Shock City and its citizens from ruin, but that doesn’t mean everything is peachy. As the town continues to deal with the aftermath of Darkness Von Shock’s reign of terror, a new team of instigators arises: hotheaded brothers who Becky lovingly refers to as the Diaper Twins. They lead the town in blaming Sunny and her parents for all the issues Shock City still faces. Milo is enraged that the Diaper Twins have scapegoated the Von Shocks, but then Becky convinces Milo and Sunny to blow off some steam and play a few harmless pranks on the twins. Little do Milo and Sunny know Becky’s setting her own plans in motion, plotting to bring back an old friend even more sinister than ol’ Darkness Von Shock himself.

“To the delight of Tim Burton fans, the artist fills his graphic panels with lots of deliciously macabre figures plus lurid tweaks aplenty . . . Alexovich’s characters’ stylized, exaggerated facial expressions add to the gruesome hilarity . . . Monstrous fun.” — Kirkus Reviews

No lie, SHOCK CITY PUNKS is probably the best writing I’ve ever done, so I hope you’ll dive back into this particular pit of monster chaos with me. There’s a cool dump and resurrection worms and at least one Ed Wood reference in this one, so you really can’t go wrong!

And if you like it, you can HELP!

They say the best marketing for any book is genuine word of mouth, so I’ve come up with a nefarious scheme to rustle up some reviews for the series. How does a FREE SKETCH COMMISSION grab ya?

I very rarely do sketch commissions anymore, so here’s your chance! Post a review of SHOCK CITY or SHOCK CITY PUNKS on Goodreads, Amazon, TikTok, or anywhere else, and you’ll get a chance to win one of five pencil sketches of any character you want (up to two), free of charge, shipping included. Just send a link or screenshot to PROOF@aaronalexovich.com. Winners will be chosen on July 27th.

So yeah, tell the world what you think of SHOCK CITY and maybe I’ll draw your favorite member of BTS. Or your favorite Pokémon. Or your favorite member of BTS as your favorite Pokémon. Sky’s the limit in the art game!

Talk to you again soon! (Possibly from an exciting new home??)
