The legendary Vertigo horror anthology that will get under your skin-one slice at a time.
It's the little things in life that matter most: the tiny leak in the fuel line; the faint smell of decay that won't wash off; the way a knife blade catches the light. These are the things that stick with us, no matter how much we want to forget-the things that make us flinch.
No one is more familiar with this unnerving territory than the twisted souls whose hallucinatory work is preserved between these covers-an unprecedented gathering of fever dreams and waking nightmares scraped directly from the darkest corners of the greatest minds in comics.
Collects FLINCH #1-8. Featuring work by Brian Azzarello, Jim Lee, Garth Ennis, Frank Quitely, Bill Willingham, Richard Corben, Eduardo Risso, Bill Sienkiewicz and many more.

This legendary Vertigo horror anthology will blow your mind—provided it's still attached to your body.
You never know what will set someone off: a child wandering away from their parent; an elevator door opening on a private moment; a phone call to a stranger in the middle of the night. The most innocent of actions can lead to the most dire of consequences—just thinking about it is enough to make you flinch.
No one apprehends this disturbing tendency better than the warped talents whose paranoid ravings are contained within these pages—an alarming compendium of frenzied hallucinations and lurid musings pulled directly from the glistening brainpans of the greatest minds in comics.
Featuring work by John Arcudi, Bernie Wrightson, Bruce Jones, Frank Quitely, Joe R. Lansdale, Bruce Timm, Mike Carey, David Lloyd and many more, FLINCH BOOK TWO collects FLINCH #9-16.
