Career
Career
His self-published comic Snake Oil won the 2008 Ignatz Awards for Outstanding Comic and Outstanding Series. His graphic novel The End of the Fucking World, "a modern ballad of angst and murder", won the 2013 Ignatz Award for Outstanding Minicomic and was adapted in 2017 into a British TV series of the same name that ran for two seasons. The End of the Fucking World, originally published under Forsman's imprint, Oily Comics, was collected by Fantagraphics. I Am Not Okay with This and Celebrated Summer were published by Fantagraphics. All his other works, such as Revenger or Slasher, were either self-published, published by small publishers, or sold directly to online readers via Patreon. Forsman has said that Revenger was influenced by the Marvel Comics series The Punisher War Journal. On June 10, 2019, it was announced that Netflix would produce a seven-episode series based on I Am Not Okay with This. The series premiered on February 26, 2020. Originally renewed for a second season, Netflix canceled the series in August 2020, citing "circumstances related to the COVID-19 pandemic".
