Summary:
"In his first-ever short story collection, which spans forty years of work, Alan Moore presents a series of wildly different and equally unforgettable characters who discover -- and in some cases even make and unmake -- the various uncharted parts of existence. In 'Hypothetical Lizard,' two concubines in a brothel of fantastical specialists fall in love with tragic ramifications.

,' a nostalgic older man decides to visit a seaside resort from his youth and finds the past all too close at hand. And in the monumental novella 'What We Can Know About Thunderman,' which charts the surreal and Kafkaesque history of the comics industry's major players over the last seventy-five years, Moore reveals the dark, beating heart of the superhero business.
