Overview
In this latest volume of theDark Garbageseries, the ill-fated character, Poef's, backstory is explored, and it is revealed why his head is comprised of two faces. In Poef's Second Head, Esther, a body builder, and Mona, a butterfly, continue their fruitless search for an elusive elixir that they think will restore their lost powers. What those powers are, they don't know, but that doesn't stop them from embarking on a cornucopia of odd and poignant quests in order to find out. Funny and tragic, Poef's Second Head, is an exploration of what it means to be alone, what it means to be alive, and how those two states inform each other with humor, tenderness and the pleasing quirkiness of Em's Dark Garbage world.
