Writer and artist James Harvey’s MASTERPLASTY,
the cult online sensation, will finally be available in print, coming to Image
Comics this October.
A young man decides to leave his college
girlfriend after undergoing a new medical procedure which drastically modifies
the physical appearance of the human body in ways both beautiful and hideous.
But will changing the outside change what’s within?
"Reading comics as a kid, I loved
Spiderman, I loved indie books like Dan Clowes or Julie Doucet, I loved Akira,
I loved Image artists like J. Scott Campbell... I didn't see genres or
styles", says Harvey. "I just saw comics. I still do. I think you can
see that in the work I do."
When asked if he was to comics what Prince is
to music—neither R&B, funk, or rock—just Prince, Harvey said:
"Exactly. I want to be the Prince of comics. I already had two ribs taken
out and I'm wearing ladies' underwear, so I'm halfway there."
This is James Harvey’s print debut. The issue
will be in oversized format, available for $3.99 to pre-order with Diamond Code
AUG140555 and is beautifully illustrated in the tradition of Jamie Hewlett and
Katsuhiro Otomo.
