Don’t Look Into
The Abyss
Don’t Look Into The Abyss is a choose-your-path comic printed by collaborative printer Erica Honson and myself in the Borowsky Center for Publication Arts in spring of 2023. The book edition size is 150, with a deluxe edition of 5. The production of this book was funded by the UArts DEIA Fellowship and the UArts School of Art Dean’s Office. Don’t Look Into The Abyss was short-listed for the 2024 Cartoonist Studio Prize in the short-form category! I am proud to have organized several companion events for this book at the Free Library of Philadelphia, including a curated exhibition of the Philadelphia Comix Collection, a free community bookbinding workshop, and a book launch— all of which you can see photos from in my News & Events tab!
Deluxe edition collection record: Swarthmore Libraries Rare Books, Free Library of Philadelphia Map Collection, and UArts Libraries.

Every endsheet is unique—they’re cut from the offset lithography setup sheets, which I wanted to incorporate into the book design!
