"Elephantmen is good to read however deep you want to go -- Richard Starkings knows his craft, and plies it effortlessly across the pages. Artist Moritat can pack more action or feeling into one panel than most of his peers can in an issue."

July 2005

The broken and bloody body of an unidentifiable man sets Hip Flask and Vanity Case on a trail that leads them to Casbah Joe and The Eye of the Needle; the creator of the Elephantmen, Kazushi Nikken, suspects that there are plans afoot to release him from imprisonment and gang war erupts between the forces of Obadiah Horn and Baron Serengheti. Where will Flask's investigation lead him? What dark secrets lie in Sahara's past, and what is the deadly mission of the man called The Silencer? Los Angeles 2262 is Mystery City.
