Two panels from an in-progress Failure Biography on the artist Pope. L, “Death Scent.” The artist was given an envelope with (perhaps) genetic material from Martin Luther King Jr.
All text in speech balloon quoted from Pope. L. He discusses these events in his piece Du Bois Machine.
Four final panels from my piece on Baroness Elsa von Freytag-Loringhoven. I can’t recommend Body Sweats: the Uncensored Writings of Elsa von Freytag-Loringhoven and Irene Gammel’s Baroness Elsa enough. The text in the speech bubbles is from a letter written to Djuna Barnes.
 
 
;nbsp UPDATE: This full piece, “The Outcast (Tomb of Terror # 14),” now appears in Entropy‘s The New Comics series. Read the comic.
More from my current failure project and the Baroness Elsa von Freytag-Loringhoven. This section deals with her great readymade God, which was misattributed to a male artist for nearly a century. Indicative of the treatment of female artists by the historic avant-garde, the Baroness’ work suffers under a pattern of misattribution and neglect.
