The Bogeyman's Closet is a comics studio based in Niagara Falls NY, founded in 2001 by Mike Alvarez and Joshua Strasburg. The majority of our titles currently revolve around horror and/or dark comedy. Visit our website
to learn more about who we are and take a look at some bonus artwork: www.bogeymanscloset.com
Our latest book is BORT! #1. A variety show on paper,
BORT! focuses on the comic book alter egos of it's creators, Mike Alvarez and Joshua Strasburg, as they
strive to create the very comic they star in, while fighting the ever-present temptations of laziness, video games and forced
child labor. Featuring a collection of short strips and sequential brouhaha, BORT! stands poised to berate about the
head your notion of decency. (For mature readers only: This ain't yo' momma's comic book, son, so best break out the
ID!)
