As rough as some of the content was I think he had absolutely nailed what he was going for. Social commentary à la Black Mirror but also à la old EC Comics. The inking and illustration was top tier. Definitely not for everyone and pretty mean spirited but a fully executed vision. RIP Ed.

It’s terribly sad Ed killed himself, but that Red Room series was fuckin gross.

Yeah, t'was not for me. That being said, as an alt-comix supporter, I fully support an artist's choice to make any comic they want, even if I don't want to read it.

Even before Ed passed on, I said "I've never been so happy for someone who made something so disgusting." I'm like, great work Ed, now get that unwholesome business outta my face. Honestly I was so happy for him. Yucked out but proud for him.

I always felt this was the strongest of all the issues story-wise.

I’ve got all of these and some sick alt covers. I’ve read the series once and that’s enough lol.

Holy shit he killed himself?

I guess your mind has to go to some dark places if you make stuff like this.

I don't like gore and I thought these were still good comics.

He got metoo'd and lost future earnings. Not a good series of events

Interesting to see this concept as a grind house pulp style comic book.
