I debated whether to categorize this post as “Horror.” At the moment, I haven’t, but maybe I’ll change my mind as type. Let’s see how that goes.
Fran Krause has been making a comic called Deep Dark Fears online called 2012, working from the submitted worries and fears of mostly anonymous contributors. (He’s also an animation teacher at Calarts.)
There have been two collections of the strip — the first one was Deep Dark Fears (unsurprisingly) in 2015, and a second book, The Creeps , came out in 2017. I’ve been reading the strip for a few years — I’m not sure exactly how long — but I missed the first book, and just read the second.
Each comic is generally four panels in a grid, with text underneath each panel — he’s illustrating the fear, in something like the words it was submitted to him.

A couple months back we told you about artist Fran Krause, who brings the deepest darkest fears of both himself and his fans to life through comic strip-style drawings. Whether we want to admit it or not, we all have our own fears, insecurities and inner demons, and we've just come across another artist who brilliantly taps into these ideas - albeit in a very different way than Krause does.
As we spotted over on Beautiful Decay, Alicia Martin Lopez is a Spanish artist currently living in New York, and she's fascinated by the idea of psychological turmoil, with her art serving to conceptualize those inner demons that we all struggle with on a daily basis. Lopez's paintings oftentimes depict nightmarish, otherworldly beings that are both haunting and horrifying, with a touch of beauty thrown into the mix.
The paintings perfectly capture the way Lopez sees these so-called inner demons...

What's your biggest fear? A spider crawling into your mouth while you sleep? Being buried alive, perhaps? Or how about something a little less horrific, like public speaking? Well, whatever it is, if you submit it to La-based artist Fran Krause, he just might turn it into a comic.
Krause runs the Tumblr blog Deep Dark Fears, and though he started off in 2012 by drawing cartoonish comics of his own personal fears, which include vampires biting his neck while he sleeps and rear bumpers of passing cars swiping his kneecaps clean off his legs, he now accepts submissions from readers, giving the same cartoon treatment to the fears of those who are fans of the blog. Recently submitted fears range from nobody having anything nice to say at your funeral to your organs being crushed while you sleep.
