I discovered Leo Fox through the 2022 Shortbox Comics Fair and the original digital version of his short comic MY BODY UNSPOOLING. This is still, visually, one of the wildest comics I've come across in recent years. Recently, Leo has graduated from self-publishing to being one of a growing group of talented cartoonists being published by San Francisco publisher Silver Sprocket.
Fox's most recent book from Silver Sprocket was first serialized online. BOY ISLAND is available in hardcover and digital.
MY BODY UNSPOOLING was released in print and digital earlier this year from Silver Sprocket. The comic also won an Ignatz Award for Outstanding Comic in 2024.
