Locked up for a crime he didn’t commit, burnt out detective Egon Rustemagick is released from a high security mental institution in order to catch a serial-killing monster who is murdering and mutilating housewives and young children.

You cannot explain the details of this story without writing another book about it, but the combination of science fiction, noir crime mystery, and straight-out horror is wrapped in some of the most compelling pop-psych artwork ever sustained over 225 or so pages.

This work was less than a decade into Sienkiewicz’s career and represents a key breakout moment for him developing his signature style.
