The series that inspired the SYFY original television series, starring Alan Tudyk!

Dr. Harry Vanderspeigle is actually a stranded alien explorer hiding out in a sleepy town in the Pacific Northwest. His short time as a doctor in Patience, Washington, has kept him busy solving mysteries though! With a few successes under his belt, Harry tackles another one after the contents of an old briefcase hint that a murderer could be hiding in town in plain sight--using an alias. Sound familiar? Acclaimed creators Peter Hogan (2000 AD, Tom Strong) and Steve Parkhouse (Milkman Murders, Doctor Who) return to their unique science-fiction/murder-mystery series!
Peter Kenneth Hogan is a British writer and comics creator who started out as editor of cult political British comics Crisis and Revolver in the late 1980s and early 1990s, before working for 2000 AD and American comic book publishers Vertigo and America's Best Comics. Hogan has also written books covering the bands R.E.M, Queen and The Doors. In addition, Hogan has worked with Alan Moore on Moore's America's Best Comics series, including his own spin-off title Terra Obscura. He also wrote three issues of Tom Strong with artist Chris Sprouse and the two of them returned to the character in 2010 with the limited series Tom Strong and the Robots of Doom. The author lives in Tunbridge Wells, Kent, UK.
“A pitch-perfect narrative from two of my favourite creators.”—Alan Moore 

“One of the most charming and wonderful comics being published today.”—Jeff Lemire
