Press Release
Shanghai, WWII Internment Camps, and a bizarre New York City murder case intersect in the first issue of DR. 2, a kinetically visceral thriller set in a frightening, yet eerily plausible, future.
A physician with a mysterious background, Dr. 2 is the most sought after expert on “unsolvable” crimes. But nothing can prepare him for the maelstrom of chaos that awaits as he’s forced to delve into a world of passion, destruction, and tragedy, all connected to a woman from his own past.
This issue (Amazon) serves as an introduction to DR. 2: A FEAST OF SCENTS, the full graphic novel, that will be releasing at a future date.
Praise:
“Breathtaking illustrations that would leave Frank Miller envious.” -Craig Wallwork, Author of To Die Upon a Kiss
“The artwork of Dr. 2 is completely different to any artwork I’ve seen before… The creepy atmosphere definitely captivated me.” -Music, Books, and Tea”If Frank Miller ever hooked up with William Gibson, Dr. 2 could be their brainchild. Who ever thought of a noir acupuncturist? The artwork is stark and beautiful.” -Geoff Hemphill, Animator ILM, Blue Sky Studios, Digital Domain.
