Deep dark fears comic
I do not have phobias, I have hobbies that involve catastrophizing. That is why Fran Krause lives rent free in my head. His Deep Dark Fears strips take the tiny what ifs I pretend I do not have and draw them in four panels with the honesty of a bathroom mirror. Somewhere in this intro I will use deep dark fears comic exactly once and, like clockwork, my shower curtain will look suspicious. The magic is the specificity. He remembers the toe over the drain, the crack in the sidewalk with a personality, the elevator door with opinions. I laugh because my brain is nodding too hard. These comics make me feel seen, and slightly called out, which is my favorite genre. If you have ever politely sprinted up a basement staircase, welcome to the support group with doodles. Let us giggle at our anxieties until they ask for a cameo credit.
Expect anxiety comics that translate what ifs, fear memes that turn jitters into jokes, and dark humor comics that tiptoe to the punchline. There are panels about ordinary objects with villain arcs, bedtime thoughts with volume knobs, and elevators that pass vibe checks.
Shared fears bond fast. That is why anxiety comics, fear memes, and dark humor comics travel across timelines with ease. The best entries take a universal twinge and draw it with a twist, a small exaggeration that gives your nerves a laugh track. One small note, naming a fear often shrinks it, which is why reading these can feel like progress disguised as entertainment. If a strip made you smile at a superstition you carry, that is therapy with captions.
