ETC # 1-5 (Piranha Press) torrent

Written and illustrated by Tim Conrad and Michael Davis

Publised by Piranha Press 1989-1990

Piranha Press presents this subversive sci-fi tale, melding elements of Frankenstein with the surreal qualities of William S. Burroughs and Anthony Burgess! Writer Tim Conrad boldly attempts to create a new world with its own language and culture.

Dark watercolor art dominates this book which follows the story of the first successful human clone. Dr. Victoria Gottway, a pioneering geneticist, clones herself. Unfortunately, Dr. Gottway’s mountaintop lab explodes after a struggle with her disenchanted assistants.

Physically and intellectually optimized by some DNA manipulation, Dr. Gottway’s clone survives, though she’s lost much of her memory. Vulnerable and lost in the world, she falls into the lives of many different people. Each wants her for reasons of his or her own, whether for financial gain, poetic inspiration, or simply love.
