Summary

"Part comic art, part textbook, Vivisectionary is a delightfully grotesque mix of the mundane and the macabre. From 'vivisection,' the act of dissecting living specimens, and 'bestiary,' a compendium of real and mythical creatures. A series of visual sequential experiments in the physiological, the pathological, and the occult. A bizarre and mesmerizing investigation through the marvels of biology and myth to uncover the extraordinary in the ordinary, the magic in science, the sublime in the grotesque"--
