Faceless and the Family
By Matt Lesniewski
From the magnificently distorted imagination of Eisner Award-nominated cartoonist Matt Lesniewski (Mind MGMT Bootleg, Crimson Flower) comes a new milestone in comic book storytelling that must be seen to be believed: Faceless and the Family!
On the broken and warped world known as the Hand Planet, the wanderer simply called Faceless ekes out existence on the margins to escape the shame that cost him his name and his identity. Exiled for his crimes, Faceless now calls the wastelands his home—until the good fortune of fate delivers him a mismatched band of fellow travelers who will soon become family . . . if they can survive a suicidal mission into the Hand Planet's class-segregated Finger Cities to restore what lies beneath Faceless's helmet and, with it, his hope in humanity.

“You just haven’t seen another comic like this one...It’s an allegory with an amazing design aesthetic that uses honest character concerns to great effect, all while adventuring on a floating world shaped like a hand. It’s the type of comic that will remind you why you read comics." – Comics Beat
“Lesniewski's latest might be some of his best work yet, a beautifully hellish landscape without color that still somehow manages to be full of hope and heart. The cartoonist's traditionally folk-inspired line art balances the genre-bending, post-apocalyptic, equal parts cyberpunk and steampunk fare exceptionally well." – Adam Barnhardt, Comicbook.com
“Absolutely gorgeous… The art is amazing… A Heavy Metal-ish vibe on drugs. Like a fever dream drawn on page, in a good way… A really unique, quirky comic.” – Graphic Policy
“Stunning… What sets Faceless & The Family apart is Lesniewski's unparalleled artistic vision. Each issue of Faceless will boast Lesniewski's jaw-dropping, hyper-detailed, hyper-rendered line art. The painstaking detail and texture work that Lesniewski pours into every panel are breathtaking.” – Boing Boing
“Artist Matt Lesniewski is easily one of the most promising new talents in the industry right now, with a detailed yet surrealist style that’s unlike anything else on the stands.
