Comics have traditionally been known for their vibrant artwork and lighthearted stories, but in recent years, a new trend has emerged: dark comics. These cartoons explore the darker aspects of human nature, tackling topics like mental illness, addiction, and the more sinister sides of society. While dark comics may not be for everyone, they offer a unique and thought-provoking perspective on the world we live in.
With the rise of digital art and social media, many talented artists have gained recognition by sharing their work on platforms like Instagram. One such artist is Inky Rickshaw, who has garnered 34,500 followers. Inky Rickshaw Comics, created by Ricky Hawkins, features a collection of darkly humorous comic strips. Ricky is known for crafting comics with unexpected twists that often surprise his audience. His comics typically draw inspiration from familiar tropes and scenes in TV shows and movies, but with his own edgy spin.
Though Hawkins doesn’t enjoy the coloring process, which he considers his least favorite part, he believes that every step of the creation process is crucial. While his work shines in black and white, the occasional use of color adds extra life to his comics. His creations are anything but ordinary they feature beautifully crafted illustrations, sharp humor, and a distinctive style. Check out the gallery below to see this artist’s brilliantly designed and unique comics.
