When someone close is dying of cancer and one's life is thrown into turmoil, past events, and memories of these events, can surface and sometimes direct the course of one's current life, bringing to light the worth of family and the parameters of love. In Dark Adaptation, the protaganist undertakes this journey, to make sense of the life he has already lived and the life he is now living. By Canada's underworld comix guru Lorenz Peter, whose first Pedlar Press title, Chaos Mission, was a great hit with readers 15 years of age and up.
