Canadian cartoonist Jeff Lemire has long been a favorite of ours, ever since the surprise success of his Essex County Trilogy — three tales of love, longing, and ice hockey set in the frozen tundra. Now he's breaking out into the mainstream, with a brand-new graphic novel from DC Comics' Vertigo line. Based on The Invisible Man by H.G. Wells, The Nobody is a creepy, pulpy story of small-town secrets and scientific experiments gone, natch, horribly awry.

On this week's comics page, Vulture is proud to present an exclusive ten-page excerpt from Jeff Lemire's The Nobody, coming in July from Vertigo.
