Description:
The story of Fluorescent Black is set in a dark, futuristic Singapore dominated by the biotechnology industry. A world polarized by genetics, where the haves and the have-nots are literally becoming new races of human.
A beautiful clone named NINA was created to be a corporate test model for experimental genetic designs. Her brain and body represent millions of dollars worth of research.
She is kidnapped by a desperate street gang who take her into a ghetto called the Butcher Block --the home of the sick people, the failed "splice" experiments, and the dregs of society. As two rival corporations make bids for Nina's rescue, the Butchers try to find a way to make a profit off their captive.
In the process, MAX, the terminally ill leader of the street kids, falls in love with Nina and must make a difficult choice: will he ransom Nina for the money he needs to fix his genome and buy a way out of this horrible life or will he fight to keep her safe from the heartless corporate scientists who fathered her?
A viceral ride through a bio-punk future where life is cheap and death is profitable.
Fluorescent Black is a "no holds barred" graphic novel that explores a previously untapped genre: BIOPUNK. Splice animals, strange natural ecosystems, and genetics gone wrong offer a wealth of visually appealing set pieces.
