DEVIANT DLX ED HC DIRECT MARKET EXCLUSIVE JOSHUA HIXSON CVR (MR)

Eisner-nominated for Best Limited Series! Hannibal meets Silent Night, Deadly Night in this pitch-black holiday horror narrative that dissects our unspoken cultural taboos.

Milwaukee, 1972: a blood-smeared Santa commits unspeakable atrocities against young men. Fifty years later, a young, internally tormented writer interviews the so-called "Deviant Killer," who, behind bars, still maintains his innocence. As Christmas approaches once more, the past returns — with a sharpened axe.

Eisner Award winner James Tynion IV (The Department of Truth, Exquisite Corpses) and artist Joshua Hixson (Shanghai Red, Absolute Batman, The Plot) deliver a psychological crime thriller about the intersection of queer identities and cultural transgression.
