During his 45th year of life "A singular voice in cinema," (Movies
in Focus) and "One of genre's most exciting filmmakers" (Indiewire)
decided to make a comic book. After the release of three startling,
award-winning movies that have played around the world and been
added to the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art, S.
Craig Zahler wanted to return to his first artistic
passion-illustration. With tools that he had developed as a
director, screenwriter, cinematographer, novelist, and songwriter,
he committed himself to writing, drawing, inking, and lettering his
graphic novel debut, a full-length work of noir horror entitled,
Forbidden Surgeries of the Hideous Dr. Divinus. Homeless people are
disappearing in New Bastion, and occasionally, a dismantled corpse
turns up in a dumpster. These crimes are left alone, until the day
a comatose woman named Lillian Driscoll is kidnapped from the
hospital. Her brothers-a grumpy detective named Leo and a slick
mobster named Tommy-seek answers that lead them to darkness, arcane
medicine, and pain. Fans of Bone Tomahawk (recently named best film
of the decade by Conan O'Brien) will enjoy Zahler's return to the
supernatural, and the idiosyncratic, tough guy dialogue found in
his crime pictures Dragged Across Concrete and Brawl in Cell Block
99 (both of which premiered at the Venice Film Festival) is also
present in this starkly rendered, black-and-white graphic novel, a
stylistic confluence of pre-code horror, vintage comic strip, and
modern indie art styles.
