Neil Gaiman's Teknophage #1

In "Hideous Rex," Rob Nichols, a corrupt businessman, finds himself plucked from Earth and stranded on the alien world of Kalighoul, where he encounters Claudia—his mysterious, long-abducted neighbor from the property he once exploited. Ruled by a terrifying, dinosaur-like tyrant, Kalighoul is a place where past sins and forgotten lives collide.

In "Nose to the Grindstone," Mr. Henry Phage moves through a pulsing insect hive, his mechanical structure grinding against the alien architecture as he hunts for off-world tech, all while narrating the story of his life to Claudia. Gaiman’s sharp, atmospheric prose and the stark, intricate artwork bring a haunting, relentless rhythm to a man whose past is as much a burden as the mission he’s on.
