Scares. Squirmy satire. Skin cream. From the keen mind of Mark Russell comes Rumpus Room, the upcoming satirical thriller series distributed by comics publisher, AWA. Created by Russell and artist Ramon Rosanas, Rumpus Room tells the story of Bob Schrunk; technocrat billionaire, collector of bad art, and victim of a hideous skin condition that can only be treated with a highly illicit and definitely not FDA-approved face cream that must be…harvested. The first issue of this original, 5-issue series will be available on Wednesday, September 20.

In Rumpus Room, a new-agey technocrat billionaire named Bob Schrunk keeps an assortment of people who’ve offended him in some way imprisoned in his subterranean “rumpus room.” Every week, his prisoners must vote out one cellmate to a horrible fate: their bodies ground up to make the not-over-the-counter facial cream that hides Bob’s morbid skin condition. Bob is in total control, but there’s just one thing he doesn’t know: his most recent “guest” is a cop, and she’s carrying a concealed gun.

AWA’s Rumpus Room is created by writer Mark Russell and artist Ramon Rosanas. The series is colored by Ive Svorcina and lettered by AndWorld Design, with covers by Tony Harris. Coming off the success of his crowdfunded book of cartoons, Bunkbed Mishaps, Russell has also illustrated hilarious child-like art variant covers for each issue. Rumpus Room #1 will be available Wednesday, September 20, both digitally and in stores wherever comic books are sold.
