Following the debut of Exquisite Corpses: Rascal Randy #1 from Image Comics, the Tiny Onion team is bringing “the tri-states’ prince of pain” to San Diego Comic-Con 2026, where the character will appear at signings and even have meet-and-greets.
Exquisite Corpses: Rascal Randy is the first Exquisite Corpses spin-off series written by Tyler Boss, illustrated Dylan Burnett, colored by Jordie Bellaire, and lettered Becca Carey. It looks at the horror of IP and the creators who make it.
In addition to the Rascal Randy announcement, Tiny Onion also revealed its full SDCC ’26 schedule. Check out the details below.
