MOTEL ROOM, A COSMIC QUEST IS ABOUT BEGIN.... Edgar Award nominee and Philip K. Dick Award-winner Ben H. Winters (EC's Cruel Universe, The Last Policeman Trilogy) and rising star Leomacs (EC's Epitaphs from the Abyss, Refrigerator Full of Heads) unravel a three-part, prestige format series exploring the hallucinatory second life of a brilliant author who imagined our desperate future but never imagined he'd become part of it . .  More than just a writer, more than just a science-fiction icon, Benjamin J. Carp was a cultural revolutionary. Across 44 novels and hundreds of short stories-including the counterculture classic The Man They Couldn't Erase-Carp pushed the boundaries of literary respectability for the sci-fi genre and his readers' perception of reality itself . . . until decades of amphetamine abuse and Southern California excess finally ended a mind-bending career that always just escaped mainstream success. He died in 1982.   Until 2025 . . . when Benjamin J. Carp awakens, alive, in a burned-out motel on the fringes of Los Angeles. He remembers dying. He knows he shouldn't exist. Is he a dream? A robot? A ghost? A clone? A simulation? In his own time, Carp pondered all of these scenarios intensely through his fiction-and, now, as he treks from Studio City to Venice Beach and onward into the paranoid sprawl of 21st-century Los Angeles, he will be called to investigate his greatest mystery yet: himself.   In the tradition of Philip K. Dick's A Scanner Darkly and Thomas Pynchon's Inherent Vice comes a uniquely fascinating and hilariously deranged excursion into the metatextual nexus where existence and oblivion, past and future, genius and madness, and glitter and grim reality all meet just beyond Hollywood Boulevard . . .","brand":"Oni Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50372188438843,"sku":"0425ON590","price":8.39,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0792\/9220\/3323\/files\/202503-0000493435.jpg?v=1749858251"},{"product_id":"0425on882-benjamin-1","title":"Benjamin #1 (Of 3) 2nd Print Allocations May Occur","description":null,"brand":"Oni Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50427769061691,"sku":"0425ON882","price":8.39,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0792\/9220\/3323\/files\/202506-0000503167.jpg?v=1752274575"},{"product_id":"0625on571-benjamin-3","title":"Benjamin #3 (Of 3) Cover A Christian Ward","description":"I'm saying all of that was never real in the first place. It is not that you will cease to exist, Marcus, it is that you never really existed in the first place. That life was always an illusion. Your dreams were always temporary. Your memories were always an invention. But you know, let's be honest, that's how it is for most people, when you get right down to it. You think you have this future. You think you have this past. But everything is always going away. Everything is always in the process of coming to nothing. But what I'm telling you, Marcus, is that I am different. For some cosmic reasons impossible to understand, I matter. I have a chance to save the universe . . . and you have a chance to save me. That is more-so much more-than most people ever get.' -Benjamin J. Carp, novelist (Deceased. Robot? Ghost? Alien?) From Philip K. Award-winning writer Ben H. Winters (EC's Cruel Universe) and extraordinary artist Leomacs (Basketful of Heads), the prestige-format examination of a dead science-fiction icon's unexpected return to Earth concludes with a mind-bending meditation of existence itself.","brand":"Oni Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50529530642747,"sku":"0625ON571","price":8.39,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0792\/9220\/3323\/files\/202505-0000500504.jpg?v=1755901901"},{"product_id":"1025on0885-ec-shiver-suspenstories-2-1","title":"EC Shiver Suspenstories 2 #1 Cover A Dustin Weaver","description":"AS IF THE HOLIDAYS WEREN’T HORRORIFIC ENOUGH?!
