The Number 73304-23-4153-6-96-8

This creepy graphic novel, drawn on scratchboard, is about a man who finds a mysterious number that changes his life: now in softcover. Horror master Thomas Ott’s only full-length graphic novel is now available in paperback! When clearing up the cell of a prisoner who has been sentenced to death and subsequently executed, a guard finds a small piece of paper with a combination of numbers on it. On the spur of the moment, he puts it into his pocket. Living a solitary, monotonous life, the man finds his curiosity awakened by the numbers on the paper. They also signal radical changes in his luck... and fortunes. Until, that is, they don’t. The inexorable abyss that follows is quintessential Ott, modern master of the old fashioned plot twist. But more than the plot itself, Ott’s hallucinatory, hyper-detailed scratchboard visions will haunt you long after you’ve put the book down. Black & white.
