Acid Nun

"A bad trip leads Annie, our earnest heroine, through a journey of suffering and self-discovery. Caught within the confines of her own mind, Annie struggles against the doubled weight of trauma and despair. In order to crawl her way out, she must grapple with the cruelest parts of her psyche, and make peace with her inner child and suppressed past. Annie argues with her demons and punches her way toward the light, with a little help from her dedicated and loving friends. Lushly illustrated with influences from spiritual iconography and psychedelic imagery, Halbert crafts an unflinching yet compassionate story about pain, rage, and the blessings we can give ourselves."--Amazon.com

Publisher Marketing: "Halbert's artwork makes this strange tale shutter with life, and the use of unrelentingly bold color palettes set this comic among great psychedelic horror classics." - Hana Zittel, Birdy magazine Review Quotes : "A psychedelic hymn that cycles through desire, trauma, and rebirth in glorious color. Kneel at the altar of Acid Nun and experience a new comics visionary!" - Katie Skelly, My Pretty Vampire Review Quotes : "Corinne Halbert's Acid Nun is weird, subversive, and beautiful. It is one of the prettiest outlaw comics I've ever read. Original and exciting." - Jim Rugg, Street Angel Review Quotes : "A beautiful and hallucinogenic journey toward self-healing through a dazzling landscape of Satanic splatter horror." - Shelf Awareness Review Quotes : "This has been one of the most visually arresting comics in recent memory from the outset, and the degree to which Halbert has seen each sumptuously-rendered page as a challenge to herself to keeping upping the creative ante is equal parts obvious and awe-inspiring." - Four Color Apocalypse Review Quotes : "The zenith of a boundary-breaking and fearless career." - Broken Pencil Review Quotes : PW's 2022 Graphic Novel Critics Poll - Honorable Mention Review Quotes : " Acid Nun is a glorious explosion of horror, blasphemy, and smut; but it's also a deeply emotional story of transformation and love, wrapped in metaphor and esoteric visions. This is true modern myth-making, not for the faint of heart and not for the heartless. Enter at your own risk! - Hyena Hell, Demons Review Quotes : " Acid Nun is my favorite underground horror comic of the 21st century. It delivers everything I'd hope for from a comic titled Acid Nun , but also delivers something I wasn't expecting--a brave underlying theme concerning the exorcism of real-life demons. Buy it. Cherish it. Never stop reading it." - Joseph A. Ziemba, Bleeding Skull! Review Quotes : "A psychedelic, erotic and violent descent into Halbert's id.... While exploring some wild trauma and grief, the tone of this book gratifyingly remains fun and energetic. Perfectly satisfies fans of the occult, tarot, and tits." - Sally Madden, The Comics Journal , "Best Comics of 2022" Publisher Marketing : Lushly illustrated with influences from spiritual iconography and psychedelic imagery, Corinne Halbert crafts an unflinching yet compassionate graphic novel about pain, rage, and the blessings we can give ourselves.
