MARK FALKEY
ARTIST/WRITER
One of the stranger sequential artists to grace the shelves of Zanadu, Mark’s comics feature sci fi landscapes of the dark and bizarre, populated by people just like me and you!

Check out his website for more gloriously weird stuffs from Autofac and beyond!
AUTOFAC #2
(W/A) Mark Falkey
Mark Falkey returns with another dose of dark, depressing and bizarre comics that read like some psytrance music video from the 90's they show at 3 AM. Take a step into the shadowy recesses of the human psyche if you dare...
AUTOFAC #4
(W/A) Mark Falkey
Mark Falkey is back with "Take a Hike" another installment of his bizarre sci-fi title and this time it's actually comic size! That's right, Mark is pulling out all the stops to bring you a cardboard cover and a full 24!! pages of black and white strangeness!!
AUTOFAC #5
(W/A) Mark Falkey
Prepare yourself for a journey beyond the stars into a darkened labyrinth of cybernetic nightmares and alien manipulation, courtesy of local artist Mark Falkey!! The one man, sci-fi horror book of the bizarre continues with Autofac #5, "Subpar"
AUTOFAC #6
(W/A) Mark Falkey
'Space Madness' is redefined through the self deprecating lens of Mark Falkey and his cyberpink horrorish title Autofac! In Issue #6 titled "Not a Number," Falkey injects the reader into a rat infested, reptile crawlin world of cybernetic misfits and mercs doing whatever they can just to survive the day. It's heavy action, heavy tech and heavy weirdness in one full size, black and white comic!!
