About this item

Legendary cartoonist (Wolverine, Conan) Barry Windsor-Smith tells the story of Bobby Bailey, who joins the military in 1964 - and there be monsters, real and metaphorical. In this pen-and-ink political thriller graphic novel, in 1964, Bobby Bailey is recruited for a U.S. military experimental genetics program that was discovered in Nazi Germany 20 years prior. His only ally, Sergeant McFarland, intervenes to try to protect him, which sets off a chain of events that spin out of everyone's control. As the titular monsters multiply, becoming real and metaphorical, literal and ironic, the story reaches its emotional and moral reckoning. Windsor-Smith has been working on this passion project for more than 35 years, and Monsters is part intergenerational family drama, part espionage thriller, and part metaphysical journey.
