And you thought spiders were scary before...
This faithful comic-book adaptation brings Richard Matheson's masterful
exploration of withering 1950s masculinity to vivid new life.
Following a freak accident, family man Scott Carey must confront the
increasingly (or is it decreasingly?) obvious reality that he is
shrinking, at a rate of 1/7 inch per day. And this fall in stature is
not merely physical, but social as well. He finds himself dropping in
standing, first past the neighborhood teens, then his wife, his young
daughter, his cat, the birds in the garden, and finally that spider. The
one you'll never see the same way again. Along the way, he confronts
questions about what it means to be a man, to be human, or to exist at
all.
Collects the four-issue comic book series, adapted from Matheson's
science-fiction classic, by Ted Adams (Diablo House), with art by Mark
Torres (Judge Dredd).
