These seven short stories are slices of life that make us laugh thanks to Alfonso Font’s uncanny ability to find the humor in even the most stressful of life’s events. His winning dark humor isn’t defeatist, but rather a palatable way of dealing with the horror of some situations which we’ve all come across, but had pushed from our memories.

“Short stories or comics differ radically from long ones not so much in their extension as in their intention. They require a refined technique and an exact calculation of the story-telling pace in order to achieve a balance.  Dark Stories  is a perfect example of this. Within its diversity of themes, it shows Alfonso Font’s mastery as a comic strip author.”
