Jay Stuckey is a lifelong comics fan who has been a working professional painter since the dawn of the millennium, with a career that has spanned three decades.  His painting has long been comics-adjacent, but here he at last crosses the now highly porous border between those worlds.  

In this premiere issue of Complex Comics readers will encounter 28 pages of full color comics that embody much of the ethos and address many of the same concerns as his painted work and in the process amply demonstrate the capacity of the comics medium.  

Drawers of the bureau of the subconscious are pulled out and their contents rifled through – and occasionally spilled out onto the floor – resulting in a plethora of playful comics replete with zany antics – and sprinkled with homages to the work of Jack Kirby.  Comics features, “Scapegoat”, “The Picayune Intelligencer Comics Page”, “Clarion”, “The Strange World of Your Dreams” and “Confessions in the Mirror” intermingle with special features, ”Behind the Scenes at the Complex Comics Company”,  “What’s So Special About August”, “The Ed-U-Macation Page”, “Complex Facial Expression” and, yes, even a letter’s page!
