KAP TRAP — Underground Comic, Texas 1991
KAP TRAP is an early work by Mat Brinkman, drawn in Texas in 1991 when the artist was 18 years old. Published by Hollow Press in a limited edition of 1000 copies worldwide, it documents a formative stage in Brinkman's visual development — raw, dense, and already operating in the surreal register that would define his later work.
The comic presents intense black-and-white imagery rooted in underground tradition, with a visual language that anticipates the grotesque worldbuilding of Multiforce and Manifester Monsters. As an object, it occupies an unusual position: both a working document of an artist's early practice and a resolved publication in its own right. Readers familiar with Brinkman's broader output — including Teratoid Heights (Museum Edition) and Multiforce Shit — will find in KAP TRAP a coherent, if earlier, expression of the same sensibility.
The Hollow Press edition is produced with close attention to materials. The hard thin cover is made from Sirio Black/Black paper with bronze hot foil details; the interior runs to 56 black-and-white pages on Fedrigoni Arcoprint ivory paper, bound with a stitched binding. The edition is limited to 1000 copies.
KAP TRAP is catalogued under Surreal & Experimental Comics at Lokator100.
About Mat Brinkman
Mat Brinkman is an underground artist and game designer known for dark fantasy illustration, grotesque imagery, and experimental worldbuilding. He is the creator of the cult board games Cave Evil and Warcults, and his work moves fluidly between comics, prints, and artist publications.
His comics — including Multiforce and Manifester Monsters — are marked by dense, obsessive mark-making and sustained invented cosmologies. KAP TRAP, drawn in Texas in 1991 when Brinkman was 18, is among the earliest documented expressions of that visual language.
