Alan Moore's Hypothetical Lizard

Adapting Alan Moore's critically acclaimed novella, HYPOTHETICAL LIZARD presents a young prostitute in lifelong service to a house of wizards, a mute witness to a deadly game of domination.

What would you pay to learn the innermost secrets of wizards? Young prostitute Som Som has made the ultimate sacrifice; literally sworn to secrecy by cosmetic surgery, the two halves of Som Som's brain severed, leaving her able to hear and see... but not speak or act. Now Som Som's unique attributes will put her firmly in the center of an impossible dilemma, as an old friend return to the mysterious, magical House Without Clocks, and a deadly game of domination begins... One of Alan Moore's greatest works, the critically acclaimed novella of HYPOTHETICAL LIZARD has been painstakingly adapted by longtime collaborator Antony Johnston into a stunning graphic masterpiece.
