Abe, Fist, Skull, and Dog live in a house, get into fights, murder gnomes, and punch each other in the nuts. A lot. Vomit-out-loud comedy guaranteed! From Joshua Hale Fialkov (The Bunker, The Life After, I, Vampire) and Kody Chamberlain (Sweets, The Ride: Southern Gothic) comes a book unlikely to become a blockbuster movie. Much to their chagrin. Collecting Punks: The Comic issues #1-5.
