a group of geneticists has conducted unholy experiments involving both human and animal DNA. This is the story of the birth of Hieronymous Flask and his eventual liberation from the torturous world of MAPPO. An absolutely gorgeous book, a brilliantly illustrated dystopian future which put me in mind of Blade Runner in its elegance and variety. However this is an origin story and leads to future events, so it is not complete unto itself.

Totally gorgeous, knock your socks off beautiful. A dystopian science fiction about a humanoid hippopotamus set in a meticulously hand painted world which looks an awful lot like Blade Runner and positively drips with the kind of acidic social commentary which could give Philip K. Dick a run for his money. It's told in a fairly odd, semi-psychedelic nature, much like the film Blade Runner. Time passes in leaps and spurts, juts back and forth and the narrative is vague, ambiguous and leaves more
The art is great, but it's really short. The hardcover edition (which I was suckered into buying) is a cool format, but I'd recommend getting the regular version. The price is like $20 for 45 pages, whereas the regular edition probably runs $4. The story feels like a prequel of sorts and helps flesh out the universe, but again its really short. A quick run down of the story: a mad scientist in the future splices humans and animals together, then trains his "Elephant men" for war. The rest of the...
Una versión más amable de Elephantmen. Personajes con más profundidad en un mundo igual de violento, pero más disimulado. Me apasiona el dibujo y las proporciones.
Short and sweet, but great. As a new fan of the Elephantmen, I knew I wanted to go back to the beginning of the story, and that's what you get here: an introduction to the Elephantmen and the insanity of their creator Doctor Nikken. The oversized hardcover is beautiful, and the artwork by Ladrönn is mindblowing. The one downside was the length, which I've seen addressed in other reviews. I'm not totally sure what this book compiles, whether it's one oversized issue, or a couple stories, but I th...
I bought this book used, for half the cost at Bookman's. It's yet again another amazing visual feast, but don't let the page count deceive you: there are several recycled images and pages from the former book. Unfortunately, neither volume of this HC format present a story with closure so I'll just hope for the best once I finally get around to reading the 3-4 Elephantmen TPBs stacked within my to-be-read pile.
Ladronn & Casey. Comic book Rock Stars, together again. As great as their run or Cable was, imagine if it could have looked like this.
I really, really like the artwork, but as story this is very thin. And even at the book's size way too expensive at 30$ (which, thank God, I did not pay!) for 48 pages.
