The Cancel Haus: Experience a Uniquely Crafted Graphic Novel

 The Cancel Haus – a graphic novel for the brave: uncanny, slow‑burn, visually meticulous.

Muted colours. Delicate linework. Loose borders.

European flavour with a mischievous English edge.

If you like stories that mutate the longer you stare at them — welcome to the Haus.

“Stunning work… delicate linework, muted colours, hand lettering… a mammoth undertaking.” — Gary Spencer Millidge

Inside Issue 12: The Story Behind Every Stroke

Issue 12 didn’t just happen.

It’s the result of hundreds of tiny, stubborn decisions — where a line should tremble, where a colour should bruise, where a sentence should land like a quiet threat.

This graphic novel serial is the work of just one creator over fifteen years. Every word, every line, every colour, every letter.

Check out the Kickstarter now.

New readers can climb aboard with catch‑up bundles.

Long‑time readers can drop straight into the descent.

Full‑colour litho print.

Enter the Haus.

“Hooked from page one… calm colours, beautiful lettering, synergistic flow.”

— Mike’s Comics, Bristol

Quality Craftsmanship in Graphic Novels

A Graphic Novel You Can Feel Before You Even Read It 

36 pages. Full colour. Litho printed.  

One creator. Fifteen years.  

Every panel drawn, coloured, lettered, and designed in‑haus.

Issue 11 continues the tradition:

• Quality paper stock

• Hand‑built design

• Playlists, quotations, and mood‑pieces

• Signed & wax‑sealed editions for collectors

This is a book built to last.

“Firstly — and this matters — it’s beautifully printed on quality paper stock that smells incredible. (Yes, this is for the people who sniff paper in art shops and stroke the textures of drawing pads. You’re among friends.) Each issue contains 24 pages of full‑colour artwork, plus additional pages of quotations, film lists, and music playlists compiled by Hroge and mysterious design collaborator Esther. These aren’t throwaway extras — they act as subtle indicators of influence and mood, pulling the whole thing into a cohesive, sophisticated design package. It’s the kind of detail that tells you serious thought has gone into building a world for the reader to enter. In its modest way, it echoes the conceptual ambition of the original Watchmen issues — each one a standalone design object — or the way Vaughan Oliver shaped entire atmospheres for 4AD albums.”

Paul Ashley Brown

Beautiful Graphic Novel for the Brave

Now funding on Kickstarter, THE CANCEL HAUS is a 15‑part graphic novel serial that’s been called “unique and brilliant” — a surreal journey unlike anything else in comics today.

Issue 11 deepens the dream‑logic ecosystem: uncanny, slow‑burn, and visually meticulous.

Muted colours. Delicate linework. Loose borders.

A European flavour with a mischievous English edge.

If you like stories that mutate the longer you stare at them — come step on the welcome mat.

“Really beautiful, stunning work… I love the delicate linework, slow page, muted colours, hand lettering and loose panel borders… all of it. Very European in flavour. I admire your dedication in completing such a mammoth undertaking in secrecy. I feel like I’ve been granted a sneak peek at a major work.” — Gary Spencer Millidge, creator of Strangehaven

Behind the Scenes of The Cancel Haus

The Cancel Haus didn’t appear out of thin air. It’s the result of hundreds of tiny decisions: where a line should tremble, where a colour should bruise, where a sentence should land like a quiet threat.

Today’s spotlight is on the engine room of THE CANCEL HAUS — the part readers never see. Hroge has built The Cancel Haus alone — no committees, no compromises.

• Dozens of thumbnail experiments

• Pages rewritten until the rhythm clicked

• Colour palettes designed to shift mood panel by panel

• Lettering choices that guide the eye like a whispered suggestion

• A storyboard that mutated as the story deepened

This is the part of comics that can’t be automated or delegated.

It’s the part that takes time — and gives the work its pulse.

If you’re the kind of reader who loves seeing how a story is constructed, Issue 11 is a masterclass in controlled chaos.

“Reading this is serious business but I was enthralled… a fascinating story that had me hooked from page one.

The art is solid and purposeful… calm colours and beeeeeeautiful lettering… a synergistic flow that’s hard to put down.”

— Mike from Mike’s Comics, Bristol

Indie Music Vibes Meets Graphic Novel Grit

If you’re a fan of indie music and comic books, you’ll feel right at home in the warped world of THE CANCEL HAUS.

This critically acclaimed, very English, darkly comic thriller is funding on Kickstarter—but only for 5 more days.

Indie music references are sprinkled through its pages and each printed version contains a specially curated playlist.

If you love art that feels handcrafted, uncompromised, and a bit too weird for the mainstream, you’ll vibe with The Cancel Haus.

Think of it as the graphic‑novel equivalent of a cult indie album: made by one creator, full of personality, and impossible to mistake for anything else.

Created entirely by one artist over 15 years, THE CANCEL HAUS blends literary depth, visual flair, and a rebellious spirit. It’s been called “a masterwork in the making” and “a seminal moment in graphic novels.”

And here’s where the design heads lean in:

‘As well as the 24 pages of full colour artwork per issue, there are additional pages featuring quotations, lists of films and music playlists compiled by Hroge and mysterious design collaborator Esther, that act as almost supplementary indicators of influences and mood, and pull the whole thing into a very simple yet sophisticated overall design package, which suggest some serious proper thought has gone into creating a whole world for the reader to enter. It’s the small details like this that impress me; in its modest way it’s similar thinking to how each issue of the original Watchmen was a conceptual piece in its own right while being part of a bigger whole. Or the way Vaughn Oliver might design an album for 4AD.’ Paul Ashley Brown – Comics creator/Publisher

This is graphic fiction for the fearless — a world built with the same obsessive care as a cult record sleeve or a hand‑assembled zine.

Don’t miss your chance to be part of it.

 Just One Week Left to Back THE CANCEL HAUS

We’re deep into the campaign — and the Haus is buzzing.

If you’ve been watching from the sidelines, now’s the moment to jump in.

THE CANCEL HAUS is a critically acclaimed, very English, darkly comic thriller — and there’s just one week left to pledge on Kickstarter.

Meet Adam Warmbath.

Wealthy, perceptive, politically unaligned… and he knows who’s harming the children.

Stopping them is one mission.

Surviving the chaos on his own doorstep is another:

• Greedy builders

• A visitor with a hungry gun

• Public exposure of his daughter’s privacy

This is storytelling with bite — darkly humorous, surreal, and fiercely original.

Don’t miss your chance to be part of this literary rebellion.
