In a world built on conformity- there’s no room for dreamers . . . At school- 'Pizza Face' doesn’t exactly shine with his report card. On the contrary- he’s one of the worst dunces in school. He dreams of opening a video game store- but that’s about the extent of his ambition. He’s summoned into the guidance counselor’s office- along with a rebellious girl named Mims. Mims loves manga and doesn’t care about the system. But both of their futures are at stake this decisive year . . . If they fail- their parents are authorized to literally kill them! The pressure of this strange new policy begins to weigh on the teenagers’ shoulders- and their parents begin to slowly mutate into monsters. Can their parents really kill them if they fail classes? Pizza Face and Mims bond to face this existential threat- but soon the situation spirals out of control . . . Their race for merit becomes a race for survival- a downward spiral in a conformist world that leaves little room for imagination . . . A modern tale with a horrific twist- Infantoms is part of a thematic trilogy by author Jim Bishop centered around childhood and the transition to adulthood. With this work- Bishop demonstrates his creative prowess following Lost Letters and My Dear Pierrot. A tribute to manga as well as a nod to our inner child- this intimate graphic novel highlights the difficulties of social integration- the excesses of society- and the value of self-confidence and friendship. A gripping album that will haunt
