VIVISECTIO NARY HC
Kate Lacour's Vivisectio NAry is a feast of single page images illustrating marvelous physiological mysteries through a series of diagrams and tableaux. Scientific charts alter NAte with raw imagery, where hummingbirds can be parasites, where feces can be transformed into brain tissue or gemstones. Part comic art, part textbook, Vivisectio NAry blends sex, religion, science, and body horror, with an eye to the sublime and the grotesque.

In a world where the mere presence of American superheroes changed history, the U.S. won the Viet NAm War, Richard Nixon is still president and the Cold War is in effect. WATCHMEN begins as a murder mystery, but soon unfolds into a planet-altering conspiracy. As the resolution comes to a head, an unlikely group of reunited heroes-Rorschach, Nite Owl, Silk Spectre, Dr. Manhattan and Ozymandias-must test the limits of their convictions and ask themselves where the true line between good and evil lies. This new edition of the inter NAtio NAl collection of WATCHMEN features a new lenticular cover!
