Dave Baker and Nicole Goux have long been a match made in comic heaven. From Everyone is Tulipto Forest Hills Bootleg Society, the two have continuously given us some incredibly honest and stunning graphic novels that leave us excited for what they come up with next. And now they’re officially back with another amazing read that isn’t afraid to get messy and real while giving us a glimpse at the LA punk rock scene.
Cosmopolitan has an exclusive look at Punk’n Heads by Dave Baker and Nicole Goux, which is set to be released on April 7, 2026. The graphic novel follows Hannah, an art school dropout who suddenly finds herself roped into joining a horror-punk band in the midst of trying to find a job and also figure out her life. Here’s some more info from our friends at Top Shelf Productions:
This band plays together, lives together…and unfortunately two of them are sleeping together. Whatever, I’m sure it’s fine. Now put on your punk’n mask and let’s rock!
Hannah Lipsky isn’t sure what’s happening. She dreamed of becoming a fine art painter, but after breaking up with her girlfriend, she’s suddenly dropped out of art school, moved into a flophouse, and gotten roped into singing in a campy horror-punk band. With costumes. To make things even more complicated, she might be hooking up with her housemate/bandmate/high school crush, Jerry. Wherever this is leading, it’s going to be messy.
Critically acclaimed, Eisner-nominated creators Nicole Goux (Forest Hills Bootleg Society, Pet Peeves) and Dave Baker (Everyone Is Tulip, Mary Tyler MooreHawk) join forces for a raucous and revealing new graphic novel about making music, making mistakes, facing your past, and choosing your future.
