Kid Lobotomy, Vol. 1: A Lad Insane by Peter Milligan

Come as you are, leave as someone else. In the winding hallways of The Suites, anything can happen--whether you like it or not! Join Kid, the proprietor of this fine hotel, as he tries to hold on to his father's business--and his own sanity.

Kid, as he's affectionately referred to, is the youngest child of Big Daddy, an aging hotelier with more than his fair share of dark secrets tucked into the corners of the crown jewel of his empire: The Suites, where the guests are in danger of losing much more than their luggage. See, Kid has shed a few (okay, more than a few) brain cells in his day, which naturally makes him qualified to perform a lobotomy or two. And why let those brain bits go to waste when he can use them to help--or unwittingly harm--his patients?

Ultimately, Kid hopes to restore some of his sanity. But can he navigate his sister's devious plotting, vivid hallucinations, and his own crumbling mental state to uncover the truth about his cursed lineage and face what runs rampant throughout the torturous hotel hallways? Simply put, you've never read anything like this. You won't be able to look away.

Milligan, Peter: - One-time Entertainment weekly's man of the year Peter Milligan was at the forefront of the revolution in comics which were created for a more sophisticated, adult audience. Shade the Changing Man for Vertigo offered a skewered look at American culture, while Enigma, Face and Rogan Gosh pushed the boundaries of what comic books could do. The hugely-popular X-Statix was a radical reworking of the X-Man paradig, described by Kevin Smith (CLERKS etc) as the most well-observed scholarly analysis of media-manipulation filtered through a pop-culture lens ever committed to the page.

Milligan was the longest-running writer of the cult horror comic Hellblazer, and his take on Human Target inspired the TV series. More recent work includes the critical and fan hit Britannia, about an atheistic Ancient Roman detective, as well as the surreal KID LOBOTOMY for IDW, while the Discipline is a highly controversial sexually-charged tale published by Image.

Milligan has written several screenplays, two of which have been made. PILGRIM starring Ray Liotta and Armin Mueller-Stahl and the AN ANGEL FOR MAY, starring Tom Wilkinson and Geraldine James, which won eleven first prizes from festival around the world, was nominated for an International Emmy, and was chosen as one of the Outstanding British Films of the Year at the Dinard Festival du Film Britannique.

Milligan is currently working on other film, comic and non-comic book projects.
