Crowdfunding Spotlight: The Cancel Haus by Hroge

By John Freeman on 10 June 2026 • ( 0 )

British solo comics maverick self-publisher Hroge‘s serialisation of his 15-issue, already-completed graphic novel reaches issue 11 – and there’s still time – just! – to back the project on Kickstarter, the latest campaign including this, plus digital bundles of previous issues, and much more.

“Issue 11 is the turning point of the 15‑part epic,” says its creator. “Visually stunning, fiercely original, and built with obsessive care.”

Described by comics auteur Paul Gravett as “A masterwork in the making”, The Cancel Haus is a dark thriller with a humorous slant.

“It’s ‘out there’ and there’s nothing quite like it out there!” Paul enthuses.

“The Cancel Haus is a comic book series that refuses to behave Itself,” says Hroge. “This isn’t a comic for people who want conformity and rehashed, safe story telling.

“It’s clever. It’s chaotic. It’s not here to make friends.

“It’s a full‑colour collision of wicked punk-darkened humour, occulted weirdness, and English mischief — imagine Twin Peaks staggering into Withnail & I, then getting shaken down by The Godfather, all drawn in the lush, defiant style of European bande dessinée.”

In The Cancel House, Adam Warmbath has a lot on his plate. He’s not short of currency, but yachts and trophy wives don’t float his boat. He’s not right-wing and he’s not left-wing; he is knowing… and he knows who is harming the children. He’s hatching a plan to stop them whilst juggling pressing matters on his own doorstep: greedy builders, a visitor with a gun and public displays of his daughter’s privacy, all need his attention too.

Meanwhile, Adam’s employee Frank, a professional prankster, and Gordon, a conceptual artist, are on the run. Hiding out from a gang of gay muscle men, they flee to a series of hidden pubs in Scotland.

With Elizabethan uprisings and tracking chips, invisible dogs and sperm at war, this esoteric tale transports us around the world and through time.

Lazy levitators, snatch snappers and consciousness cancellers are a few of the characters you will meet as The Cancel Haus unfolds over three hundred and sixty full colour pages in fifteen comic book issues.

“It is unlike any other comic on the market, with a unique style veering between highbrow literature and lowbrow vernacular,” says Hroge, “the sacred juxtaposed with the profane.

Hroge describes himself as a lone wolf comic creator. Socially, he’s easy company – warm, witty, and open. But when it comes to storytelling, collaboration was never an option. His work is never a group project. It’s a singular vision, born from the depths of one mind and shaped by one hand.

A talented, deep-thinking artist, Hroge dares to buck the trend and take a vital stand for freedom of speech, against the encroaching age of political correctness and cancel culture. He believes that the job of an artist is to help another to think for themselves, and may therefore be part of an individual’s spiritual journey.
