This strip offers a fresh outlook and appeals to everyone … LIO is a comic strip that’s edgy, funny, visually stunning, and truly different. –Daily Cartoonist With a feature film in the works from producer David Kirschner (Child’s Play, An American Tail), LIO deftly melds the macabre with its brand of dark humor.

Having been distinguished by Variety as a fast riser, Mark Tatulli’s morbidly mirthful pantomime comic strip, LIO, is humorously astute and just slightly askew in its perception of the world.

Centered around an odd, ghostly-pale child named LIO, and his creepy coterie of friends, including a giant squid named Ishmael and a scythe-carrying grim reaper, LIO; is influenced by cartooning greats Gahan Wilson, Charles Addams, and 19th-century satirist A. J. Volck.
