Creator Biographies

Iago Faustus is a failed academic who wishes he had never been born. He writes dirty comics and other things to help himself cope with the burden of being alive. Most of the comics he has written and commissioned, along with a variety of bespoke art and curated material, can be found at his principle website Erotic Mad Science, (https://eroticmadscience.com). Faustus also maintains two “scrapbook” sites of imagery he uses for guidance and inspiration, both suitable only for adults. The first of these, Hedonix (http://hedonix.org), contains comparatively mild adult and non-adult content. A second, Infernal Wonders (http://baalberith.net/wp), explores darker black-comic and erotic-horror themes. Faustus has created a special “Rosetta stone” site (https://www.wrections.com), which consists of a short comic he wrote (“Bubbles”) translated into at least twenty languages. Finally, he also writes short pessimistic rants and essays at his philosophy blog Pyrosophy (https://pyrosophy.net). You can follow Faustus on Twitter at @EroticMadSci and contact him via his contact page (https://eroticmadscience.com/72-2/) or at faustus@eroticmadscience.com.
