The Deviant Deluxe Hardcover

Eisner Award Nominee for Best Limited Series American Library Association 2024 Best Graphic Novels for Adults Top Ten

Hannibal meets Silent Night, Deadly Night in this pitch-black holiday horror story that cuts right through our most unspoken cultural taboos.

As snow falls over Milwaukee in 1972, a blood-stained Santa Claus commits unimaginable atrocities against young men. Fifty years later, a troubled young writer interviews this so-called "Deviant Killer," who still maintains his innocence from behind bars. And as Christmas approaches once again, the past returns, wielding a sharpened ax.

Eisner-winning writer JAMES TYNION IV (EXQUISITE CORPSES, THE DEPARTMENT OF TRUTH) and acclaimed artist JOSHUA HIXSON (The Plot, Absolute Batman) unite for a psychological crime thriller that explores the intersection of queer identities and a broader scope of cultural transgression and deviance.

This deluxe hardcover edition collects the entire nine-issue series, along with a cover gallery and exclusive developmental material to offer readers a never-before-seen look behind the mask.
