FORBIDDEN SURGERIES OF HIDEOUS DR. DIVINUS GN

During his 45th year of life 'A singular voice in cinema,' (Movies in Focus) and 'One of genre's most exciting filmmakers' (Indiewire) decided to make a comic book. After the release of three startling, award-winning movies that have played around the world and been added to the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art, S. Craig Zahler wanted to return to his first artistic passion-illustration. With tools that he had developed as a director, screenwriter, cinematographer, novelist, and songwriter, he committed himself to writing, drawing, inking, and lettering his graphic novel debut, a full-length work of noir horror entitled, Forbidden Surgeries of the Hideous Dr. Divinus. Homeless people are disappearing in New Bastion, and occasionally, a dismantled corpse turns up in a dumpster. These crimes are left alone, until the day a comatose woman named Lillian Driscoll is kidnapped from the hospital. Her brothers-a grumpy detective named Leo and a slick mobster named Tommy-seek answers that lead them to darkness, arcane medicine, and pain. (W/A) S Craig Zahler
