Description
Summary:Shadowland begins with a high-diving pig and ends with a rampaging elephant ... and in between, it takes readers on a wild ride through the 20th century. Featuring the sleazy carnival owner Al Ledicker; Al Jr., his unfortunate, clown-faced offspring; Ledicker's ex-wife, the midget Kewpie; the adorable ingenue and movie star Molly O'Dare; and the mysterious "Grey Ones," pop-culture-besotted aliens who may be pulling all the strings. Includes a bonus section of never-before-seen "Shadowland"-related artwork, including a full-color gatefold and a new introduction by Deitch that reveals, for the first time anywhere, the role of serial killer John Wayne Gacy in the creation of these stories.
