Etc

(Piranha, 1989-1990)
©1989 Tim Conrad and Michael Davis

Dark watercolor art dominates this book which follows the story of the first successful human clone. Dr. Victoria Gottway, a pioneering geneticist, clones herself. Unfortunately, Dr. Gottway’s mountaintop lab explodes after a struggle with her disenchanted assistants.

Physically and intellectually optimized by some DNA manipulation, Dr. Gottway’s clone survives, though she’s lost much of her memory. Vulnerable and lost in the world, she falls into the lives of many different people. Each wants her for reasons of his or her own, whether for financial gain, poetic inspiration, or simply love.
