Nightcore Energy:
Morgan Vogel

A short comic about a sensitive, vulnerable boy—diagnosed and manipulated by a mysterious psychiatric professional.

Morgan’s last comic, a 24 page science fiction story about a sensitive, vulnerable boy—treated and manipulated by a mysterious psychiatric professional—his brain utilized to develop product branding. Nightcore Energy is a reflection on psychiatric diagnosis, new-age healers, autism research (sensory integration), occult/schizophrenic experience, chronic-lyme, and Lanza. With a stiff, frightening pen, Nightcore shows us the world of a young man attempting to escape a world he feels fundamentally alienated from by immersing himself in technology—aligning with Morgan’s own experience as a teenage web-artist. Originally released in a small run in 2019 in conjuncture with Pris Genet’s Penetration of the Skin, now available again in an identical format.
