Cock Head #1 is the kind of comic you hear about once and instantly know if it is for you. A post apocalyptic delivery boy with a chicken head, a package that absolutely has to arrive, and a world full of violent weirdos trying to stop him. It is loud, bloody, and deeply silly in the best way, and today is the last day to back the Kickstarter campaign, so if this sounds like your flavor of chaos, you are officially on the clock.

A Delivery Job With Kill Or Be Killed Stakes

Set in a ruined future, Cock Head works as a courier for local crime lord Boss Eye Boss, hauling high risk packages through a city that looks ready to chew him up. The hook is simple and perfect: he has to deliver one particularly important parcel to the mob boss, and the threat of death hanging over him quickly stops being theoretical.

The book leans hard into grindhouse energy. Cock Head is described as an unstoppable force who gets the job done no matter who or what is in his way, from rival gangs to truly out there enemies like mutant dog Nazis. Standing beside him is his girlfriend Jax, who dives into the mayhem right along with him. Expect speed, violence, and a sense of humor that never lets you forget the lead character is literally a man with a chicken head trying to keep his boss happy.

A Two Issue Blast From Comic Soup

Cock Head #1 is the opening chapter of a two issue mini series, clocking in at 28 pages that the team themselves pitch as a fast, gory thrill ride. The book is written, illustrated, and lettered by Kit Wallis, which gives it that unified, creator driven feel that a lot of indie fans chase.

This is also the first Kickstarter campaign from Comic Soup, a new imprint from Wallis and frequent collaborator Allen Dunford, the writer behind books like Pocus Hocus and Horus in Hell. If you have followed their earlier work, you already know what to expect: wild concepts, sharp cartooning, and a willingness to get as bloody or bizarre as the story demands.

Who Cock Head Is For

The team is very clear that this is not an all ages book. With its mix of absurd humor, over the top gore, and an assassin level delivery boy carving a path through enemies, Cock Head is aimed squarely at adults. Nerd Initiative called out fans of Mad Max, Repo Man, and Guns Akimbo as the natural audience, which feels exactly right. If you enjoy cult action movies that pile on style and violence with a wink, this belongs on your shelf.

What makes it stand out is how it blends that exploitation vibe with a strong sense of personality. The very title tells you the creators are not playing it safe, and the world they are building looks like a place where every page can introduce a new grotesque gag, enemy, or bloody set piece. It is the sort of comic that lives or dies on confidence, and Cock Head has that in spades.

The Campaign Is In Its Final Hours

On the crowdfunding side, Cock Head #1 is already a success story. The campaign has pulled in more than eight times its original goal, with over a hundred backers jumping on board and pushing it well past full funding.

The catch is timing. The Kickstarter window runs from October 30 through November 20, and at this point the project is in its final day. That means if you want a first print copy or simply want to support Comic Soup on their debut outing, you need to act now rather than waiting to see if it shows up in shops later. The book is clearly connecting with readers who like their comics wild, bloody, and unapologetically strange, and this last day is your chance to be part of that first wave.

If the idea of a foul mouthed, chicken headed assassin courier blasting through a ruined city sounds like your next favorite read, check out the Cock Head #1 campaign while there is still time and grab a spot among the early supporters.
