Breakout writer John Whalen and Eisner-nominated artist Mike Hawthorne (THE EXTERMINATORS, Queen and Country) bring chilling new life to THE UN-MEN the former SWAMP THING adversaries created by Len Wein and Bernie Wrightson with a series that explores what it means to be a freak in a society filled with gawkers. After a sideshow attraction called The Gill-Boy is murdered, an albino agent known as Kilcrop is dispatched by the government to solve the case. To uncover the truth, Kilcrop must infiltrate Aberrance, where society's most misshapen outcasts find their own kind of freedom.

"It's hard out there for a freak! Like the misshapen oddities who inhabit the bizarre burg known as Aberrance, U.S.A., Agent Kilcorp of the Department of Energy has always felt like an outsider—after all, he's an albino African-American and a former midway attraction himself. But only in Aberrance—home to the mysterious and malformed Un-Men, creations of the demented genius Dr. Anton Arcane—does he discover the true meaning of freakdom. When a mysterious 'illness' begins spreading among the Aberrance population, Kilcrop's investigation leads him deep into the long-concealed corners of the Un'Men's sordid past—and his own shocking ties to it. Before he's done, there may be a whole new generation of Un-Men unleashed upon the world"—Cover, P. \[4\].
