Fan-favorite Aditya Bidikar (The Department of Truth, Blue In Green) and rising star artist SOM (Crocodile Black) present a twisted exploration of celebrity culture, identity, and image, in the upcoming In Your Skin trade paperback. This standalone, Cronenbergian body horror graphic novel will hit shelves this Fall from Image Comics.
In Your Skin follows main character Priyanka who has been a Bollywood superfan of film star Ayesha Sen since she was a kid. She’s watched her movies over and over and knows her dances beat for beat. But after a once-in-a-lifetime chance meeting with her idol goes awry, and Ayesha announces her impending retirement from movies, Priyanka’s admiration turns to obsession. If Ayesha doesn’t want to live her perfect life, then Priyanka would be more than happy to take it for herself…
In Your Skin is the perfect read for fans of films like The Substance and Black Swan, or novels like Mona Awad’s Rouge or Patricia Highsmith thrillers like The Talented Mr. Ripley.
