Written by John Whalen Art by Mike Hawthorne Cover by Tomer Hanuka Breakout writer John Whalen and Eisner-nominated artist Mike Hawthorne (THE EXTERMINATORS, Queen and Country) bring chilling new life to THE UN-MEN - the former SWAMP THING adversaries created by Len Wein and Bernie Wrightson - with a series that explores what it means to be a freak in a society filled with gawkers. They say the freaks come out at night. But in Aberrance, U.S.A., freaks are big business. On the board of directors sit the freakiest freaks of all - birthed in the profane laboratories of Anton Arcane - THE UN-MEN. In this new, ongoing series - masterfully mixing gritty noir, grindhouse horror and gallows humor - an albino agent known as Kilcrop is dispatched by the government to solve the murder of a sideshow attraction called 'The Gill-Boy.' To uncover the truth, Kilcrop must infiltrate Aberrance, where society's most misshapen outcasts find their own kind of freedom. But with the original Un-Men in charge, Kilcrop must confront a corruption far deeper than the mysterious death of a man who breathes through his neck. And he must deal with his growing love for a one-armed, angel-winged beauty named Niko - an attraction that could prove fatal. The truth he discovers may be the secret hidden within his own outsider's soul. Cover price $2.99.

Damien Kane was going on twenty-four when the pains began. His eyes would feel like orbs of molten metal in their sockets; the muscles in his abdomen would stretch and shriek like tortured cats. Damien did what anyone would do under the circumstances - he called the only family he'd known since his parents died, the U.S. Army. They flew him to an Army base in Louisiana where he was met by Doctor David Manguy, the man who'd brought him into the world. Manguy took Damien to a secret cryogenic crypt in the basement of his laboratory and showed him the twisted remains of two deformed creatures who had been cobbled together by the insane genius Anton Arcane as part of yet another experiment in the pursuit of immortality. The guards in Manguy's lab called these monsters the Un-Men. Dr. Manguy told Damien to call them Mom and Dad. Manguy told Damien the horrifying truth: Biology is destiny. Damien's genetic structure had remained stable for a long time, but now his body felt it was time for a change. Now Damien embarks on a journey beyond the borders of the human condition and into the Wasteland where freaks are family, and where the Un-Men live out an uncertain existence. Written by Dave Louapre, with art by Vince Locke. Photo cover by Stan Gaz and Richard Bruning. Suggested for Mature Readers. New Format. Cover price $1.95.
