Description
Based on Tom De Haven's acclaimed cult novel, one of comics' most powerful horror stories returns! In De Haven's nightmarish America, the survivors of a nuclear blast - twisted by radiation and the contempt of the human population - try to raise money for surgeries any way they can. For brothers Grinner and Flour, that means everything from grotesque traveling sex shows for the normals to the ultimate drug - mutant goldfish eggs! This definitive collection of Freaks' Amour includes the complete series and covers by Mike Mignola, Charles Burns, and James O'Barr, plus an original prose sequel by De Haven, Gary Panter's Freaks' Amour adaptation from Young Lust, and a revealing introduction by Steve Bissette.
