Product Description:
Stosh Bludowski is a killer, born with the capacity for no apparent human emotion other than rage. Killing comes easy for Blud, and he makes a good living doing what's easy - until the day he meets two jobs in an alley who just won't die, and a grotesque mystery unfolds right in front of him. Soon, the remorseless killer is confronted by a reality he could never imagine, and he will be invited to make a decision once and for all . . . is he human, or is he Other?

When Bernie Wrightson touches a title, something special happens. When Steve Niles and Bernie Wrightson create a title, the simple becomes a feast of literary and visual gems.
The "City of Others" is Wrightsons' return to a medium that his artistic skills fit perfectly. When you are 'immortal' and don't want to be found, even travelling in a the womb of a pregnant woman becomes acceptable. Enter Chunx into the United States. Stosh Bludowski is a killer. Since the age of seven, he has killed family for revenge, killed orphans, and now Blud encounters the recently dead who won't stay dead. An undead 'convention' leads to an unlikely conclusion to his adventure. His savior offers a way out with no options but to continue the curse that frees yet traps him.
Few writers and artists can create horror that pulls you along twisting and screaming the way Niles and Wrightson can in "Others". The story, while a steadily paced quest for redemption at almost any cost is rife with subtle classic horror characteristics. There are Frankenstein, Dracula, and Night of the Living Dead themes that resonate in the collection. A particularly magical touch is the art styles that change as the subthemes change. The Frankenstein pages are rendered in a softer, more gentle touch a la the classic film. The Dracula pages are more vibrant and colorful. Only a master like Wrightson could consciously imbue a book with such a deliberate shift in atmosphere.
On the surface, the book is merely a Vampyre gone mad book, but beneath the bloodshed, it is the quest for a killer and his companion gaining immortality while empowering each other. It is also the simultaneous quest for immortality by Chunx. Exactly what the future holds for Blud and Chunx should prove to be very interesting an 'more than your average monster story'!

I ordered this on a recommendation from Amazon. I have no idea why they suggested it to me. I had never heard of the author and have never read, looked at, a graphic novel. Actually I used to read comic books when I was a kid. The illustrations were dark and discusting. I returned the book.
