French, author of the controversial Grit Bath series, ventures further into the grotesque with a whacked-out tale that treads the thin line between art and madness. It's the surreal saga of two eerie children who stumble upon a strange creature...a monster? It's a secret they share with the weird man in the basement of the hospital, a guy who happens to have a fondness for dissection, among other things.
"Dark Horse Presents is the ideal venue for us to publish the more quirky, underground talent we love," said Dark Horse Publisher Mike Richardson. "But the popularity and demand for The Ninth Gland was so ferocious that we decided to collect it into a single issue, for those who may have missed it the first time around."
Regular DHP readers loved Renée French's exacting eye for detail and fluid storytelling abilities--now here's the chance for new readers to get hooked on something completely different! The Ninth Gland, a 48-page black-and-white one-shot, ships March 21, and retails for $3.95.
