Lansdale's By Bizarre Hands, an all-new series of adaptations of some of Lansdale's best short stories.   The Drive-In is one of the buzz indy books of the year so far, and By Bizarre Hands follows up with more of Lansdale's trademark brand of Texas terror.

One the most popular horror novel writers, Joe R. Lansdale, is unleashed again in this all-new series that adapts some of his favorite short stories, all chosen by Lansdale himself, into comic form for the first time. This issue contains the titular story By Bizarre Hands, and is illustrated by fabulous new Indian artist Dheeraj Verma.

With Lansdale's biting wit and razor-sharp dialogue, fans of Garth Ennis are sure to love this new six issue monthly series.
