HOT HOUSE HC

An unnamed man and woman live in a house together but rarely interact. Each of them attends to mundane tasks such as laundry and sweeping. Then time, space, and reality all warp around them in unexpected ways as they confront past selves, suffocating dust storms, and an environment that's as claustrophobic as it is familiar.

“Step into Hot House, where domestic tensions echo household chores, chasing memories of relief. John Hankiewicz’ crystalline drawing puts everything in its place, hidden or forgotten. His precise cartooning hands you objects subjectively, inevitably broken, can anything be repaired? You’re holding it right now.”

— Chris Cajero Cilla, author of The Sleep Gas

"If you're new to Hankiewicz's comics, read this and discover one of comics' most singular, enigmatic, beautiful cartoonists. If you're already familiar with his complex and fascinating oeuvre, you'll be happy to see the plastic laundry basket again."

— Kevin Huizenga, author of Curses, The River At Night

“…this latest outing is splendid. A rare beast: a wordless comic that’s actually good.”
