COMISdePUN 2015–2023

Created in 2015 in Medellín, Colombia, under the slogan "Rechaza - reusa - reinterpreta," (Reject - reuse - reinterpret) COMISdePUN combines different styles of ballpoint ink comics and graphic art to spread the history and implications of punk as a youth and countercultural movement through graphics. Its editor, Alex Cuervo, uses humor and satire to introduce related concepts such as do-it-yourself (DIY), pogo dancing, and drug use, and contrasts them with mainstream culture. In issue 2, Cuervo designed a mock magazine cover imitating the aesthetics of cultural magazines with tips on how to be a good punk subject. COMISdePUN contains general references to punk culture and local references to being punk in Medellín.
