Ethan Nicolle writes and draws comics built around exaggerated action, monsters and deliberately absurd premises. Axe Cop, created with ideas supplied by his young brother Malachai Nicolle, turns a child's improvised logic into a superhero world where an axe-wielding policeman fights dinosaurs, aliens and villains whose powers can change without warning. Bearmageddon moves into longer-form horror-comedy, following a group of young people through an apocalyptic attack by increasingly bizarre bear creatures. Nicolle's cartooning is energetic and detailed, giving ridiculous ideas the visual seriousness of conventional action comics. He has also produced shorter humour and sketch collections. His work fits comedy comics, action parody and monster graphic novels, particularly for readers who like webcomics where improvisation and visual escalation matter more than realistic world-building.
