"The Pain Doctors of Suture Self General"  

Artist: Alan M. Clark

You are bidding on a multiply signed limited edition of Clark's surreal, dark fiction anthology and art book published in 1993 by IFD Publishing, illustrated by Clark and written by the Bovine Smoke Society - a collection of talented writers who each contributed short fiction to accompany the artist's dark fantasy imagery.  The book is set in "Suture Self General," a grotesque and unsettling medical facility where the doctors' primary methods revolve around disturbing self-mutilation and unconventional healing practices. . . so you can imagine the stories that are featured in the book!  Limited to 500 copies, large format 14" x 10.75" hardcover in dustwrapper, with tipped in color plates, and signed by all the contributors (see photos).  The soft paper wrap has some fraying and tears on the edges from storage and handling, the book and binding are as new.   

 NOTE: No rights of reproduction accompany the sale.   For these auctions I accept paypal, and payment is due within 3 days of auction close.  Overseas buyers: there are some locations to which I prefer not to ship; if you want me to consider an exception for you, please message me through eBay.  If you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact me before bidding.   For other choices in illustration art you can also visit the Worlds of Wonder website and browse our online gallery of illustrative art!  Happy bidding!
