Cover of Rust Belt by Sean Knickerbocker

Sean Knickerbocker ′12 is releasing a new comic through Secret Acres: Rust Belt. Set in post-industrial America, the story follows the underemployed, the working poor, and the transients of America’s decaying, industrial cities. The book is 9×8 inches, two-color, and 112 pages long. You can preorder your copy now; it comes out on June 3.

John Seven on Indie View: “It’s obvious Knickerbocker knows his subject matter well, and he’s skillful in the way he captures not only the experience of his central characters but the way they affect people around them.”

Cam Gordon on Broken Pencil about issue #3: “Everything about this comic is fairly ordinary and in this sense, it’s the ideal presentation of an entirely unglamorous affliction [alcoholism].”
