The Biologic Show is a comic book series written and drawn by Al Columbia. The series' title is taken from a passage in the William S. Burroughs book Exterminator! Contains several short stories and illustrated poems. Many of the pieces deal with disturbing subject matter such as mutilation, incest, and the occult.

Highly praised by alternative comics creators including Mike Allred and Jim Woodring, who wrote that "[i]t's full of stuff you don't want to think about too much, but it's so much fun to look at that you can't help but linger. [Columbia] does tricks with time and revelations that are shockingly deft." A 1998 profile of Columbia in The Comics Journal called issue #0 "a big, visceral, and messy masterwork which shouted his arrival to the ranks of cartoonists-to-watch" and described issue #1 as "even better: focused and more cohesive, with a longer, more meaningful story begun for Columbia's best characters." Writing in 2002, Kieron Gillen characterized the series as "comics transgression in its purest form."

In the years since its publication The Biologic Show has been noted for its influence on other cartoonists and artists. Tunde Adebimpe of TV on the Radio has described the series as a specific inspiration for multiple songs and a general influence on his music's structure and pacing. Singer and comic book writer Gerard Way spoke about the series in a 2009 segment for the G4 web show Fresh Ink Online, calling issue #0 "the most important comic to me in my collection" and singling out the story "Li'l Saint Anthony" for praise.He also told an interviewer that his own work changed dramatically after he was exposed to the series. In 2011 Frances Bean Cobain was photographed with a tattoo of Columbia's Seymour Sunshine character taken from issue #1.
