    Jim Bishop’s Infantoms

    Our friends at Magnetic Press and Oni Press are teaming up to bring Jim Bishop’s INFANTOMS to English‑language readers, and we’re excited to debut some exclusive page reveals from this hauntingly gorgeous graphic novel.

    Bishop has already earned a reputation as one of Europe’s most visionary young creators, and INFANTOMS shows exactly why. This book is a fever dream of emotion and atmosphere—equal parts surreal fantasy, intimate character study, and visual spectacle. Every page feels handcrafted, layered with symbolism and texture, and tinged with a sense of wonder tinged with dread. It’s the kind of comic that pulls you in with beauty and keeps you there with heart.
