I have collaborated on a graphic novel about human mutilations called the Nye Incidents that is going to be out shortly. (If you want a copy, the best thing to do is to call your local comics shop and ask them to order it. It’s by Craig Spector and it’s from Devil’s Due Comics.)

Using his 40 years in the petroleum industry, Lewis Brown has already extended the life of one field by 17 years.

These are microbes that were originally developed to clean up oil spills.
