David Malki ! spells his name with an honorofic exclamation point. He is the author of the comic strip "Wondermark", which since 2003 has been repurposing illustrations and engravings from 19th century books into sarcastic, silly, and surreal collage-style comic strips.

Malki also co-edited the fiction anthology Machine of Death, which, thanks to a 100% grassroots campaign, became the #1 bestselling book on Amazon.com for 36 glorious hours.

Quotes by David Malki (?)

“There's and entire world outside these bleak pages, one full of SUNRISES and KITTY-CATS and late-night BURRITO RUNS and the horrible, creaking amble of us all towards DEATH. It is to that world that I am afraid I must release you to now.”
― David Malki, Wondermark, Vol. 1: Beards of Our Forefathers
