“Swedish artist Max Andersson’s Death and Candy is an inky black universe where the grotesque and the humorous intersect amidst urban and organic decay. Andersson is best known for his Pixy and Zero Zero stories, drawn in the same deceptively simple style as Death and Candy — ‘deceptive’ as it is the ideal vehicle for his twisted fairy tales. There’s something simultaneously nightmarish and affecting about Andersson’s stuff.” – Charles Austin, Dolomite
“I got into the comics medium early, around age four. I wanted to be a mechanic but my parents insisted that I’d do comics. My first strip was silent and ended with the protagonist getting blown to pieces by some dynamite in his pants. Later I learned the alphabet.” – Max Andersson
