An expectedly gonzo, non-Love and Rockets offering from Gilbert Hernández that focuses on an amnesiac man whose skin and skinless body start having separate existences. There's also a secret government facility, a stripper/bouncer duo, organized crime, mystery women, and scads of paranormality. It's a complete work that makes sense (which is not always true of a Gilbert Hernández story), but it felt slight with little emotional impact. If anything, it's more like a crime caper novel told with the Hernández aesthetic, so you get a combination of silly and creepy.
I re-red this to see if I want to keep it in my collection, and I decided not to.

By far one of the craziest things I have ever read!! However, I love surreal, wacked out plots and zany dialogue. This whole book was so much fun and I loved it!!
