Bug Brothers Forever

2008

"Vertigo's cult-favorite creepfest concludes in cataclysmic style as The Exterminators clash with Henry's former partner, the lowlife A.J., now reincarnated as a redneck version of an Egyptian deity and who commands an army of monster-sized cockroaches, seething with hatred for the human race. As the clock ticks toward insect Armageddon, the question is not who will live and who will die, but will humanity itself survive?"—Cover p. \[4\].

Simon Oliver
Author · 12 books
Simon Oliver was hatched in South London in 1969. Since that date he has consistently strived for mediocrity in a number of fields of employment, from cooking at the legendary Hacienda Club of Manchester in the late 1980's, scuba diving instructor in the planet's more tropical climes, to a career as a camera assistant in Hollywood. With such a spotty and heterogeneous employment record is seemed only fitting that the comic book would industry welcome him with open arms in 2005 for his writing debut in THE EXTERMINATORS.
