Synopsis of Alan Moore's Hypothetical Lizard

Finally collected, here is one of Alan Moore's greatest works and his most critically acclaimed novella of all time, painstakingly adapted to comic books.

Now Som Som's unique attributes will put her firmly in the center of an impossible dilemma, as an old friend return to The House Without Clocks, and a deadly game of domination begins...This collected volume contains the entire four issue series, the full text of the original story, and both artist's original design sketches.
