Prison Pit is an original graphic novel from the pen of Johnny Ryan, best known for his humor comic Angry Youth Comix. Prison Pit represents a marked departure from AYC or his Blecky Yuckerella weekly comic strip, combining his love for WWE wrestling, Gary Panter s Jimbo comics, and Kentaro Miura s Berserk manga into a brutal showcase of violence, survival and revenge. Imagine a blend of old\-fashioned role playing fantasy games like Dungeons \& Dragons crossed with contemporary adult video games like Grand Theft Auto, filtered through Ryan s sense of humor. The book begins with C.F. (his full\-name would be too horrifying to reveal here) being thrown into the Prison Pit, a barren negative\-zone populated by intergalactic, violent monster criminals. In this first volume, C.F. gets into a bloody slorge war (a slorge is a giant slug that excretes a steroid\-like drug called fecid that all the monster men are addicted to) with ultraprisoner Rottweiler Herpes and his henchmen Rabies Bloodbath and Assrat. The ensuing bloodbath is an over\-the\-top, hyperviolent yet hilarious farce worthy of Ryan s inspiration, Kentaro Miura.

2009's Prison Pit, Book One was an unadulterated smash hit upon its release at the 2009Comic\-Con International, and the balls\-to\-the\-wall series returns this summerwith more action and mayhem like only Johnny Ryan can deliver\-\-again starringCF, the shirtless outer space barbarian antihero who remains damned tothe Prison Pit (a vast wasteland beneath the crust of a barren planet, populatedby the worst of the worst, where violence is the only law and evil creaturesroam free). In this second volume, CF tries to get revenge against the evil behemoththat took his arm, and then winds up playing an unwilling participant inan elaborate escape attempt from the Pit.Prison Pit blends Ryan's fascination with WWE wrestling, grindhousecinema, first person action video games, Gary Panter's "Jimbo" comics, andKentaro Miura's "Berserk" Manga into a brutal and often hilarious showcase ofviolence like no other comic book ever created.

Prison Pit blends Angry Youth Comix creator Johnny Ryan’s fascination with WWE wrestling, grindhouse cinema, first person action video games, Gary Panter’s Jimbo comics, and Kentaro Miura’s “Berserk” manga into a brutal and often hilarious showcase of violence like no other comic book ever created. Even the lead character’s name, which is only one letter away from “Cannibal Duckface” (hint: “Cannibal” is correct) is unprintable. Prison Pit is so deranged and twisted that even the author’s plot description, while admirably reflecting the spirit of the book, has to be edited into a sea of asterisks in order to be bearable to normal human beings: “A mysterious new a\\hole has descended into the Prison Pit. He’s looking for Cannibal F\\\face and he wants revenge. Revenge for what? Probably for some f\\\ed up evil s\\\. But before he can get his hands on the CanMan he’s got to battle his way through some pretty vicious motherf\\\ers. S\\\*’s about to get real.” Well, yes, exactly.

As always, a plot summary of the latest installment of Johnny (Angry Youth Comix) Ryan s hugely popular sci\-fi\-prison\-planet\-gore\-fest\-slugfest\-a\-thon serial must, in order to be presentable to normal, decent human beings, be cut into fine Belgian lace. And so, with apologies: Cannibal Fuckface discovers the only way to escape the Caligulon is to brainfuck the Slorge and create a giant, brainless oafchild that only knows how to annihilate everything in its path. And what happens when the Slugstaxx show up and use their nightjizz to turn this mindless monster against CF? Total Fucking Mayhem. With its first two installments already in second printings, Prison Pit is building a solid fan base and stands as an utterly unique comic book that has to be seen to be believed.

A huge success in the alternative\-comics field, with the first two volumes already in second printings, Prison Pit is Johnny (Angry Youth Comix) Ryan's ongoing taboo\-busting sci\-fi\-prison\-planet\-body\-muta\-tion\-splatterfest epic extravaganza, beloved by everyone from the legendary Gary Panter ("GLOREGEFULL!") to Booklist ("Not to be missed"). In the latest installment, our hero Cannibal F\\kface still isn't dead, so the Prison Boss plays what may be his last card: The Holocaust Brothers. But before CF battles the Ho\-Bros he's got to destroy his arch\-enemy, the seemingly indestructible Slitt, who happens to be the only one who knows how to get the hell out of the Prison Pit. The author promises: "Every single testicle in the world will explode with rage when Prison Pit 5 is unleashed."
