WINNER of the Doug Wright “Pigskin Peters” Award for Best Small Press Comic (Dwellings # 2)

“Dwellings is like Lynchian horror as a Saturday Morning Cartoon... an absolute delight. Probably the most fun I've had while flinching squeamishly on the edge of my seat in quite some time (yes really).”— Boing Boing

“(A) bloody ode to Harvey Comics and the rot that lives beneath suburbia.”—Smash Pages

“Dwellings is one of my favorite current comic books, and without a doubt my favorite horror comic of the current genre ‘boom.’”—Stephen R. Bissette, Saga of the Swamp Thing, Taboo

“Dwellings is just utterly wild, and I love it!” —WWE Wrestler Tegan Nox 

“Sometimes you just need a self-contained story, even if it eventually ties into a much bigger theme or plot... (Dwellings) offers a series of southern Ontario horror tales drawn in a vintage comic style that is both cute and terrifying.”—The Comics Beat

“…a masterful job… I couldn’t be more impressed with the art and storytelling.” —Seth, Clyde Fans, Palookaville

“For my money, the most engaging funnybook out there right now is ol’ Jay Stephens’ Dwellings.” —Phil Hester, Swamp Thing, Green Arrow

“Jay Stephens’ Dwellings wonderfully mixes glorious and gorgeous old school cartooning with a sinister underbelly, creating a comic unlike anything else out there. Highly recommended!” —Jeff Lemire, Sweet Tooth, Black Hammer,  Little Monsters

The books are in production and ready to go to press soon. All we need is your support to make it happen. As with previous Black Eye Books projects, we'll be working with a local printer, which means faster turnaround times. We plan on shipping late summer 2024!
