Evan Dorkin is a celebrated cartoonist and writer known for his sharp wit, energetic art style, and ability to blend outrageous humor with heartfelt storytelling. From the anarchic comedy diary products with attitude, Milk & Cheese, to the offbeat rantings of nerd culture of Dork! His creations have influenced generations of comic fans with his use of satire and sincerity, making him one of the most unique voices in modern comics. But if you are looking to find what made Dorkin an award-winning comic creator or seeking a handy collection of his famous works, Dark Horse Comics has collected the defining works of Dorkin’s comics in Nerd Inferno: The Essential Evan Dorkin.
This omnibus is a 656-page collection of Dorkin’s works on Milk and Cheese, The Eltingville Club, and Dork. From the gin fueled chaos of Milk and Cheese, the calcium enriched loose cannons who have been delighting and horrifying readers since 1988, to the brutally honest satire of The Eltingville Club, chronicling the ugliest side of fandom through trivia and meltdowns, and finally Dork, a showcase of Dorkin’s black humor at its wildest with stories ranging from living voodoo dolls and Fisher Price literary reenactments. Together, these three series of Evan Dorkin’s work blend biting comedy, absurdity, and unfiltered cartoon mayhem.
Nerd Inferno: The Essential Evan Dorkin will be available in bookstores on April 21, 2026, and in comic shops on April 22, 2026. It is now available for pre-order from Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and your local comic shop and bookstore for $34.99.
