Adam Phillips has come to an uncertain crossroads in his life when a clear purpose finally reveals itself; don't die from cancer. As the odd side effects of chemo gradually develop into superpowers, he discovers that his ultimate purpose is nothing short of saving the world... Sharp, inventive, and brutal, THE DARK ARTIST is a memoir-superhero mash-up starring Adam Phillips, a cancer survivor with the power to hear the suffering of others - and act on it. Prepare to be crushed by the granular details of Phillips' chemotherapy (a devastating combo of body horror and humor), then to be plunged face-first into violent, retributive action sequences that flash like a Frank Miller comic. The result is a profound, unforgettable, and utterly new kind of hero who battles moral ambivalence, the villainous underworld of Missoula, Montana, and the cancer trying to destroy him from the inside out. "I get to know," reflects a hardened Phillips. "Others don't." Well, not until they pick up this book. - Simeon Mills, author of THE OBSOLETES
