HIP FLASK: UNNATURAL SELECTION by Richard Starkings, Ladronn & Joe Casey Hip Flask: Unnatural Selection is the Origin of Hip Flask, Comicraft's grim yet affable hippopotamime hero, and serves as prologue to HIP FLASK #0: ELEPHANTMEN and THE BIG HERE AND LONG NOW mini-series. Somewhere in the African desert, thousands of miles from civilization, a group of geneticists led by Kazushi Nikken, has conducted unholy experiments involving both human and animal DNA. This is the story of the birth of Hieronymous Flask and his eventual liberation from the torturous world of MAPPO. Comicraft has put together a beautiful special edition of their smash hit one shot, HIP FLASK: UNNATURAL SELECTION. This 48 page oversized hardcover is limited to 2500 copies and features cover to cover painted art by Ladronn, collecting the remastered and expanded 'widescreen' art and story from UNNATURAL SELECTION and also pages and covers from HIP FLASK: ELEPHANTMEN.
