Minicomics

In the early 1990s Emdin started drawing underground comix and collaborated with Ross Tesoriero on his first mini-comic If Pain Persists. [1] Shortly after, Emdin published his own comic, Cruel World, [2] and was one of the first in the Australia underground scene to produce full colour covers and professionally printed pages. Unfortunately the high production value did not reflect the low-brow content — Cruel World ran to issue 8.

Throughout his life, Emdin has continued to draw in the art and underground scene, contributing to books and comic anthologies such as Sick Puppy, [3] Phatsville, [4] Blackguard [5] ', Pure Evil, [6] and most recently, Blood and Thunder. [7]
