Hieronymous
Flask (known as “Hip”) is the first of the Elephantmen. A hippopotamus/human
hybrid, he possesses immense strength, which he uses along with his cultivated
intelligence in his job as an Information Agent. In ELEPHANTMEN 2260, a
new storyline in the long-running Image Comics series by Richard Starkings and
Axel Medellin, Hip teams up to investigate a double murder with Jack Farrell, a
young detective with a secret: He’s being haunted.
A perfect
starting point for new readers, ELEPHANTMEN 2260 BOOK ONE: MEMORIES OF THE
FUTURE is a taut science fiction mystery in which Hip and Jack must delve
deep into the genetic secrets that made Elephantmen like Hip possible. All the
while, Jack’s murdered girlfriend Scarlet follows him, seemingly an apparition
of his guilt — or is she something more? Scarlet seems to have her own agenda,
one that Hip and Jack will have to discover to solve the crime.
