Parts Unknown, Volume 1

Parts Unknown #1

by Beau Smith, Brad Gorby

Parts Unknown is the story of two recovering alcoholic super-cops--Pendelton Spurr and Maria Lucci, trying to stave off an alien invasion of the most lurid proportions. The Scalons want to kill off the strong willed men of Earth. They want to have nasty sex with our women and produce a horrible hybrid race to enslave the rest of mankind. Trouble is here... they've got scaly skin, and very big guns that can turn us all into paint splatter. To make matters worse the Scalons are working under the guise of a Bill Gates type of corporation, making their stab at world domination just a little bit easier. Find out if Spurr and Lucci tie a knot in the ass of this alien invasion, or if they fall off the wagon and under the wheel.

This is the first volume of Parts Unknown featuring the origin of this drive-in movie come to life. The first Scalon invasion hits Chicago and it's up to super cops, Spurr and Lucci to try and put a stop to this alien invasion before it can spread. When Spurr's girlfriend is kidnapped to be the new Scalon queen, Spurr and Lucci have to pull out all stops to jerk a knot in the Scalon's plans. Incredible story and art. Loads of action in this over the top sci-fi adventure.
