Hi, I'm Hagai, I write comics and occasionally prose, and criticism thereof. Most of my comics can be read online for free, or purchased on a pay-what-you-want basis on Gumroad and Itch.io.
Always on the lookout for new collaborators, projects, and criticism outlets.

“Going Up” is a new comic drawn by J. Marshall Smith and written by myself. You can read all of it below, or—if you wish to show your support—buy a high-res .pdf on Gumroad for a price of your choosing.

In 2026 I need to sit down and read all the long runs of comics I’ve accumulated in the piles. KAIJUMAX, PROMETHEA, ALEC, PUNISHER MAX…

L’ALMAGESTE, Frédéric Coché (FRMK, 2023): a piece of work so unnervingly fragmentary that it appears almost to encompass the entirety of sequential–graphic art within its pages. Beautifully elevated by its texture, bearing the physical marks of its process and conception.

HORTUS SANITATIS, Frédéric Coché (Fréon, 2000). I’ve remarked in the past that Coché is what all other ‘spiritual’ wordless comics want to be but can’t manage — beguiling, opaque, expansive.

CELEBRATED SUMMER by Charles Forsman (Fantagraphics, 2013): just about the perfect comic for Where I’m At right now — a really sharp bit of emotional avoidance. Quite taken with this one; between this and TEOTFW, Forsman has a special way of making books that read super fast without feeling slight.

So excited to share these covers that I worked on for the @evernightbooks.bsky.social edition of @jeffvandermeer.bsky.social's Southern Reach series!
Amazing to work on new covers for these books - I've definitely referred to Annihilation as a dream project. Thanks so much Yas for art directing!
