Deviant Deluxe Edition Hardcover Joshua Hixson Cover (Mature)

EISNER NOMINATED FOR BEST LIMITED SERIES! Hannibal meets Silent Night, Deadly Night in this pitch-black holiday horror story that cuts right through our most unspoken cultural taboos. As snow falls over Milwaukee in 1972, a blood-stained Santa Claus commits unimaginable atrocities against young men. Fifty years later, a troubled young writer interviews this so-called "Deviant Killer," who still maintains his innocence from behind bars. And as Christmas approaches once again, the past returns, wielding a sharpened ax. Eisner-winning writer JAMES TYNION IV (THE DEPARTMENT OF TRUTH, EXQUISITE CORPSES) and acclaimed artist JOSHUA HIXSON (SHANGHAI RED, Absolute Batman, The Plot) unite for a psychological crime thriller that explores the intersection of queer identities and a broader scope of cultural transgression and deviance. This deluxe hardcover edition collects the entire nine-issue series, along with a cover gallery and exclusive developmental material to offer readers a never-before-seen look behind the mask.
