Publisher's Synopsis

A group of women, one man and two dogs are making their way through a post-apocalyptic world in search of a city that supposedly still has electricity and civilisation. Along the way, they go to a comedy club, take a drug called Gumdrop and encounter gangs of fools, lunatics and sadists. The world may have ended, but the horror of humanity remains. Josh Simmons is one of the most distinctive graphic novelists of his generation. This first full-length graphic novel since 2007's House (Fantagraphics) has echoes of John Carpenter and Shirley Jackson.

About the Publisher

Fantagraphics Books

Fantagraphics Books

Fantagraphics Books has been a leading proponent of comics as a legitimate form of art and literature since it began publishing the critical trade magazine The Comics Journal in 1976. By the early 1980s, Fantagraphics found itself at the forefront of the burgeoning movement to establish comics as a medium as eloquent and expressive as the more established popular arts of film, literature, poetry, et al. Fantagraphics quickly established a reputation as an advocacy publisher that specialized in seeking out and publishing the kind of innovative work that traditional comics corporations who dealt almost exclusively in super-heroes and fantasy either didn?t know existed or wouldn?t touch: serious, dramatic, historical, journalistic, political, and satirical work by a new generation of alternative cartoonists as well as many artists who gained prominence as part of the seminal underground comix movement of the '60s. Fantagraphics has since gained an international reputation for its literate and audacious editorial standards and its exacting production values.
