Like a Velvet Glove Cast in Iron, Paperback/Daniel Clowes

Clay Loudermilk stumbles into a screening of a bizarre snuff film that wraps him up in a mystery surrounding a series of cult-inspired killings, dubbed "The Harum Scarum Murders." The subsequent path Loudermilk's life takes is both a terrifying journey into madness and jaw-dropping tour-de-force of visual imagination fraught with psychosexual and conspiratorial tension.
