Description
Celebrate the 20th anniversary of PAUL POPE's
(Battling Boy, Batman: Year 100) Eisner-nominated sci-fi/cyberpunk classic
with this new edition. Time Magazine listed HEAVY LIQUID among the 100
most important science fiction graphic novels of the decade when it originally
debuted in the 2000s, and its relevance and influence has only increased since
it was first published.
In a future where New
York has evolved into a sci-fi metropolis, a man named S becomes entwined in a
mystery that's littered with love and drugs-and in particular, an addictive
substance called heavy liquid that's both a drug and an art form. In his search
for the one artist skilled enough to render heavy liquid into a perfect
sculpture, S finds himself battling deadly psychopathic foes as well as the
inner demons of addiction. If he can survive these physical and mental trials, S
just might discover the shocking secret behind heavy liquid, and a love he
thought lost forever.
