“From the news we get the story of a neighborhood under siege, and of health authorities reluctantly trying to clean up a mess…
When reality is this grim, sometimes it takes a brutal tale of lost friendship and cannibalism to help make sense of it.”
-VICE
“Runaway pick for the best comic of 2017. 10 out of 10”
-Big Comics Page
A gentrified city. Its homeless population restricted to six square blocks called The Dregs. When people start disappearing, a drug addled homeless man obsessed with detective fiction becomes addicted to solving the mystery. Equal parts Raymond Chandler and Don Quixote set in a thriving metropolis that literally cannibalizes the poor, The Dregs is the first homeless meta noir ever made.
“Lowbrow brilliant.”
-New York Magazine
“Best Comics Of The Year So Far: The Dregs is far more than just a great example of its genre, it’s comic book craft at its finest.”
-Book Riot
“Nadler and Thompson’s research makes The Dregs feel almost like a work of graphic novel journalism”
-Mic.
“Zac Thompson and Lonnie Nadler’s Chandler-referencing inner monologues sizzle.”
