Items related to Connective Tissue
Video store clerk Darla Vogel is fed up, until one of her customers, a precocious home-schooled kid, offers her some of his meat-tinged candies. Darla takes a plunge down the rabbit hole into a surreal world of throbbing, veinous buildings, compulsory public nudity, weird creatures and more. If William S Burroughs, Lewis Carroll, H.P. Lovecraft and Harvey Kurtzman had a mutant lovechild, it might resemble Bob Fingerman's bold new confection, Connective Tissue. Fingerman, a cartoonist and novelist best known for an acclaimed graphic novel (Beg the Question, a Gen X classic) and an acclaimed prose novel (Bottomfeeder), merges the disciplines in Connective Tissue, a genre-bending and medium-mixing work best described as a fully illustrated novella.

About the Author:
Bob Fingerman is a lifelong New Yorker who has created comics and books for Fantagraphics, DC Comics, Marvel, Tor, Image, Dark Horse, and many other publishers and magazines.
Review:
“Connective Tissue...make[s] for an engaging read...While Darla sounds like she could be a handful, she is a good and sympathetic protagonist, making her a modern-day Alice in a 21st century Wonderland.”
- Jason Borelli, Beyond Race Magazine
“A brief, surreal trip...you can’t help but become enamored of Fingerman’s sheer insane imagination...Connective Tissue comes across as a witty love child of Lewis Carroll, H.P. Lovecraft and William Burroughs...one of the most entertainingly odd books out there.”
- Samuel Zimmerman, Fangoria
“Reading like a pornographic children’s book on acid, Fingerman weaves a tale so twisted impossible to forget, even if you tried.”
- The Comics Waiting Room
“Strange, warped, hilarious, occasionally disturbing, and, above all, aggressively unique.”
- Brian Heater, The Daily Cross Hatch
