The series that inspired the SYFY original television series, starring Alan Tudyk!
Dr. Harry Vanderspeigle is actually a stranded alien explorer hiding out in a sleepy town in the Pacific Northwest. His short time as a doctor in Patience, Washington, has kept him busy solving mysteries though! With a few successes under his belt, Harry tackles another one after the contents of an old briefcase hint that a murderer could be hiding in town in plain sight--using an alias. Sound familiar? Acclaimed creators Peter Hogan (2000 AD, Tom Strong) and Steve Parkhouse (Milkman Murders, Doctor Who) return to their unique science-fiction/murder-mystery series!
“A pitch-perfect narrative from two of my favourite creators.”—Alan Moore
“One of the most charming and wonderful comics being published today.”—Jeff Lemire
