Stray Toasters

Egon Rustemagick is a worn-down detective who has spent time behind bars for a crime he did not commit. He is let out of a high-security psychiatric facility and sent back to work on a case: a monster is killing and mutilating housewives and small children. Bill Sienkiewicz wrote and painted this graphic novel, and he is widely regarded as one of the most inventive and influential comic artists. The story blends science fiction, noir, mystery and monster fiction. It takes place in a City of the Future that owes a clear debt to Blade Runner.

The tone is dark and frightening, and the art is full color. This edition is an annotated, definitive version that brings together Sienkiewicz's work at his peak. It also includes a cover gallery and some extras.
