456 pages / Published 2000-2008
The complete Runoff series is collected here across three volumes.
Mysterious things are happening in Range, a small town in the shadow of Mount Rainier. The lives of the inhabitants are at risk. Ghosts are running cars off the roads. Wolves are roaming the streets. Before long deformed and savaged bodies turn up in the woods. Runoff is dark, stylish, funny, visceral, and more than anything else: Unpredictable. Before the narrative reaches its powerful conclusion there will be force-fields, ghosts, werewolves, tesseracts, talking animals, vampires, mummies, a dissertation on the fourth dimension, government conspiracies, comic strips, and, naturally, a municipal election.

“Tom Manning has created a world that is as bizarre as it is recognizable. As scary as it is moving. The terse plotting and vivid characters in Runoff collapse the sweet flavor of Americana into a cyanide capsule that is easy to swallow, easy to like, and hard to survive.” —Guillermo Del Toro
“Runoff is a major accomplishment in both writing and art, standing out in stark contrast from anything else in the medium.” —Comicreaders.com
“Manning has created a unique piece of fiction that can be appreciated by graphic novel aficionados as well as any avid reader, which is no small feat.” —HuffPost
