Also includes a never-before-published eight-page Moore/Totleben story, "Lux Brevis," and an unused Moore script!

Written and Illustrated by: Renee French

What's under the bed? Who's casting that shadow outside my window? Common questions children ask themselves at night? But what if, instead of those rather innocuous queries, the child asks things like: What's inside this bunny that makes him move? What if I put a raisin in a dead man's nose? If I leave the paw of a deceased mole in the sun, will it grow sprouts like potatoes? This is the world of Renee French, who's independent comic book stories have been disturbing readers and provoking reactions since the early 90s. This hefty collection is the first major volume of her work to be published anywhere. It's a comprehensive retrospective, examining French's versatility and the spectrum of her career. Through horror, psychedelia, and ultimately, a skewed approach to conventional storytelling, French gets to the dark middle of the human psyche, crafting a truly unique comic-book experience.
