Alan Moore’s HYPOTHETICAL LIZARD TPB US $14.99 Cover: Felipe Massafera Writer: Alan Moore Art: Sebastian Fiumara Readership: MR Format: B&W, 128 pages ISBN: 1592910386 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION: Finally collected, here is one of Alan Moore’s greatest works and his most critically acclaimed novella of all time, painstakingly adapted to comic books. Moore’s frequent collaborator Antony Johnston has carefully preserved the story as it is presented in sequential form with stunning grey-painted art by sensations Lorenzo Lorente and Sebastian Fiumara. What would you pay to learn the innermost secrets of wizards? Young prostitute Som Som has made the ultimate sacrifice; literally sworn to secrecy by cosmetic surgery, the two halves of Som Som’s brain have been severed, leaving her able to hear and see… but not speak or act. Now Som Som’s unique attributes will put her firmly in the center of an impossible dilemma, as an old friend return to The House Without Clocks, and a deadly game of domination begins… This collected volume contains the entire four issue series, the full text of the original story, and both artist’s original design sketches. |

Following hot on the heels of John Russo’s shocking PLAGUE OF THE LIVING DEAD SPECIAL, this blockbuster, 6-issue mini-series begins where the SPECIAL ended. Their home town is a war zone. Their loved ones are surely dead. They are pursued by military police, intent on their capture. And there’s zombies roaming the streets of Stone Mountain… Hundred of flesh-eating, ravenous zombies! With nothing left for which to live and no hope for survival, a trio of Vietnam veterans plunge headlong into battle with the army of the undead that have destroyed everything to which they had hoped to return. The PLAGUE OF THE LIVING DEAD has spread and devoured all in its path, but the trio of soldiers find that there may be a glimmer of hope, as they find a pocket of survivors in the local high school gymnasium. But will this last outpost of humanity be their salvation or will it become a horrifying death-trap? As well as the standard cover by super-star Jacen Burrows, this issue is available with a Wraparound, Terror, Rotting and Gore cover by series artist Dheeraj Verma and a painted cover by Matt Busch. |
