Harold Schechter and Eric Powell\u2019s critically acclaimed, best-selling true-crime graphic novel returns with new content in Did You Hear What Eddie Gein Done? Expanded Edition<\/i><\/b>. Written by Schechter and Powell, and illustrated by Powell, this new paperback edition features brand-new bonus content, including creator commentary, research photos, historical insights, and a haunting new cover by Powell.<\/p>\n

About<\/b> Did You Hear What Eddie Gein Done?<\/i><\/b>:<\/b><\/p>\n

This is an in-depth exploration of the Gein family and what led to the creation of the grave-robbing psychokiller who haunted the dreams of 1950s America and inspired such films as Psycho<\/i>, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre<\/i>, and The Silence of the Lambs<\/i>. Schechter and Powell’s true-crime graphic novel takes the Gein story out of the realm of exploitation and gives readers a fact-based dramatization of these tragic, heartbreaking, and psychotic events.<\/p>\n

Schechter said, \u201cThough Eddie Gein is commonly described as a serial killer, he was not motivated by the same sadistic bloodlust that drove such sex-murderers as Ted Bundy, John Wayne Gacy, and Jeffrey Dahmer. He was, in essence, a necrophile: a sexual deviant with a perverted attraction to corpses. The word \u2018necrophile\u2019 was coined in the early 1800s to describe a French soldier, Sergeant Francois Bertrand, a ghoulish lover of the dead and Gein’s most notorious predecessor. His story, illustrated by Eric, is a major new feature of our expanded edition, shedding light on the psychopathogy that underlay Gein’s crimes and obsessions.”<\/p>\n

It is now available for preorder at Amazon<\/a>, Barnes & Noble<\/a>, and your local comic shop<\/a> or bookstore<\/a> for $24.99.<\/p>\n
