This is the story of the birth of Hieronymous Flask and his eventual liberation from the torturous world of MAPPO. This 48 page oversized hardcover features cover to cover painted art by Ladronn, collecting the remastered and expanded 'widescreen' art and story from UNNATURAL SELECTION and also pages and covers from HIP FLASK vol. 2: ELEPHANTMEN.
