description: 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 &amp; 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.
