Okay, this series is very underrated and is in need of a better rap by the comic community because not enough people know about it. Elephantmen is by far one of the most psychological comics I have ever read touching on racism, homophobia, xenophobia, how we treat our veterans, abortion, science gone too far, and really the human condition in general. Set in a future world, Europe has been wiped out by the deadly FCN Virus leaving the land open for grabs and the United Nations of Africa and China going to war over the spoils. Africa has a trump card up its sleeve though, genetically engineered super soldiers made of animal DNA spliced with human DNA born from women kidnapped from all over Africa to give birth to creatures known as Elephantmen. When things start going south for China, the U.S jumps in to save their business partner and to defeat the science group responsible for creating the Elephantmen MAPPO. Years after the war, the Elephantmen have been rehabilitated and put to work in the civilian world all over the globe facing discrimination as hybrids and hatred by others for their atrocities in the war.
Hiromi "Miki" is your typical third generation Asian girl whose mother barely escaped the war in Europe. Now living in LA in her early 20s and still living with her mother, Miki is your typical bad girl smoking, drinking, having premarital and often unprotected sex, jumping from one man to the next breaking hearts and getting a bad reputation all while working for L.A's most luxurious way of travel Sky Cab Services. Her life becomes more difficult when she finds herself falling for Elephantman Hip Flask the hippo Elephantman. However, her desire for forbidden fruit tests her relationships with her friends and family and is forced to grow up as she sees what she has gotten herself into.
Here are the best pics I could find of Miki.There are more in the actual comics but I am not able to scan them because of the very large, very delicate, book volumes I have been reading the series in. I can't break the spine or cover guys, sorry. This series means too much for me to lose. If you guys know another means. Please tell me.
