They are sent to a realm known as Hell'sBottom -- a sorcerer ghetto where everyday life is a harsh struggle forsurvival. Porcelain dolls crawl through the alleys like rats, arcanescientists abduct people from the streets to use in their ungodlyexperiments, and everyone lives in fear of the aristocratic race ofspider people who prey on citizens like vampires.Told in a series of interconnected stories reminiscent of Frank Miller's Sin City and David Lapham's Stray Bullets, Carlton Mellick III's Hungry Bug is an urban fairy tale that focuses on the real life problems that arise within a fantastic world of magic.
