Pissant Apocalypse is James' third book. His first book, EVIL Comics, was serialized while he was working full time at a factory.
Pissant Apocalypse started off as the seed of an idea in his sketchbook as he was finishing up the art for Tales to Enlighten.
The big yellow protagonist took shape and took hold of James' imagination. James paired the character with other figures from his sketchbook and pieced together the first issue of Pissant Apocalypse which he published in 2021 as a mini-comic zine that was only available packaged together with one of his art commissions.
Originally intended as just a one shot, James was able to expand the story and world to an entire 170+ page graphic novel with was printed over 5 mini-comic zines.
