I’ve decided you may well be a genius. I am really enjoying the multi-thread approach. SG, UK

This is brilliant work. Really loving the series. NK, AUS

Love it! Great dialogue, art work is perfect for the story. Line work is nice & loose and the colours are just right. Finding the lists/recommendations intersect with mine in places but discovering new ‘stuff’ PH, UK

Strange, deep, paranoid and bizarrely funny. AS, USA

I adore it. Although I cannot convey why. GV, UK

This is the most intriguing series I’ve read in a long time. I’m not sure I’ll ever look at pubs in the middle of nowhere quite the same way again! PS, UK

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.

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 litter its pages and each issue 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.

Check out the campaign now

‘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.’

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.

Explore the campaign

“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.”

The Cancel Haus: A Darkly Comic Thriller

A Very English, Darkly Comic Thriller

THE CANCEL HAUS is a graphic novel serial like no other — surreal and unapologetically bold.

Now funding on Kickstarter, this 15‑part literary thriller is already turning heads.

Meet Adam Warmbath: wealthy, perceptive, politically unaligned…

and once again entangled in forces far stranger than polite society allows.

Issue 11 tightens the threads.

The world grows sharper.

The trouble grows louder.

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.

Go to Kickstarter

“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

 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.
