Don’t miss the debut of Jon Clark’s THIN, winner of Best Graphic Novel at 2016’s Silver Scream Festival!
“THIN has a lot going on… it’s a commentary on beauty, society, self-esteem, and addiction… a sympathetic horror work that makes its reader uncomfortable in all the right ways.”
–Fangoria
Doris Greene is a suburban housewife with a weight problem. When she discovers that her husband is having an affair, she desperately books an appointment for a mysterious operation in the hopes that it will make her thin once and for all. But the method proves to be an actual nightmare, and when she wakes up in the middle of the operation, Doris must fight for her life.
Here’s a look at the first six pages of THIN #1 from American Gothic Press, the official comic imprint of Famous Monsters.
