Harper Alley has created a beautiful collection of all six issues of the original Incredible Doom comics about teens in the 90s getting their lives turned upside down by the early internet. It’s available in paperback and hardback, with a secret alternate cover under the slipcase!)
“Incredibly strong and not a little disturbing.” —Cory Doctorow, author of In Real Life
Welcome to a new age…the age of the internet.
Allison is drowning under the weight of her manipulative stage magician father. When he brings home the family’s first computer, she escapes into a thrilling new world where she meetings Samir, a like-minded new online friend who has just agreed to run away from home with her.
After moving to a new town and leaving all of his friends behind, Richard receives a mysterious note in his locker with instructions on how to connect to “Evol BBS,” a dial-in bulletin board system, and meets a fierce punk named Tina who comes into his life and shakes his entire worldview loose.
Unlikely alliances, first love, and minor crime sprees abound in this teen graphic novel debut about making connections while your world is falling apart.

Praise for Incredible Doom

One of the finest ongoing comics series from anyone anywhere.
WILL NEVIN - The Oregonian
A Rush of love for the brave beginnings of both the early internet and the teens who used it to find themselves and each other.
ELENOR DAVIS, author of The Hard Tomorrow and How to Be Happy
A compelling story complemented by pleasingly minimal art that skillfully evokes a sense of loneliness and isolation
SAVANNAH GANUCHEAU, co-creator of Bloom
A sharp and authentic wild ride that bought me back to my teenage years as a punk with a dial up connection.
KEVIN PANETTA, co-creator of Bloom
A poignant and often hilarious reminder that technology is at its best when it’s easing the ache of loneliness and bringing people together.
JEFF ZENTNER, Morris Award-winning author of The Serpent King
INCREDIBLE DOOM is a gripping story with real consequences and the lucid immediacy of a dream, all wound around the things we’re willing to risk to satisfy our need for connection.
LUCY BELLWOOD author of Baggywrinkles and 100 Demon Dialogues
Emotional and unexpected, beautifully simple and yet wonderfully complex. This is what great indie comics look and feel like.
KELLY THOMPSON author of Uncanny X-Men, West Coast Avengers, Rogue & Gambit, Hawkeye, Captain Phasma, Heart In A Box
