Miniseries
A young boy puts a gun in his mouth and pulls the trigger. The police don’t care. Not about his death or the death of his best friend two months earlier. The dead boy’s mom seeks help from an old flame that’s employed as a detective. What she doesn’t know is that he suffers from acromegaly—a physical deformity resulting in brutish facial features at mid-life. Will his freakish appearance get in the way of solving the case?
• Cover by Frank Miller!
• From the artist of The Green River Killer and the writer of B.P.R.D.!
“A beautiful book and, for my money, no one in comics writes better stories about human beings than John Arcudi.”—Mike Mignola
A double suicide, an old flame, and a haunted man.
