A humble man - lonely at heart - seeks out the world's rejected souls, taking these misbegotten outcasts under his wing in a traveling show of oddities. In his kind yet lonely journey, this man of compassion also seeks something else - someone to love, someone willing to return all the kindness he's shown his less-fortunate troupe of oddities. When he finds that someone, his life is complete...until her pregnancy. When she gives birth to the couple's very own oddity, the new father's fury at God and the world for such a betrayal drive him to a state of revenge and hatred that reveals his true inner self - a self his traveling troupe wreaks its own twisted revenge upon.

great art, bad printing,

I consider this to be Wrightson's swan song... his last awesome work. The price is excellent for so many pages of amazing work, and I appreciate that they didn't mess up the artwork with color.
But the printing is awful, and so much of the beauty of his line work is mashed and fuzzy. Just too bad. I'll have to dig up my old heavy metal magazines to see just how awesome it is.

Good story and great art, but the printing quality isn't as high as you'd want it to be. Great for Wrightson fans though.

I remember the story from Heavy Metal magazine a long time ago. I even cut out the pages to keep the story. They eventualy got lost in the moves. Now I can enjoy the story again and again. Incredible artwork, Bernie Wrightson Rocks!!!
