The Freak #1

Oni Press is proud to present visionary cartoonist creator Matt Lesniewski’s carefully crafted, Eisner Award–nominated tale of rejection, loss and loathing — now in hardcover for the first time. Who hasn’t, at some point in their life, felt misunderstood, outcast... alone? This is the constant conflict and plight of our eponymously named protagonist. Everywhere he travels, he is met with violence and disgust. But will his trip to the big city, where he hopes to go unnoticed amongst the masses, be any different from the places and experiences he’s had previously? Enter the unique and visually expressive mind of writer-artist Matt Lesniewski in his debut graphic novel, which received a 2020 Eisner Award nomination.
