Description

Welcome back to King's Dominion Atelier of the Deadly Arts, the most unforgiving prep school in comics—where survival is the only curriculum and the price of failure is often fatal.

Volume 3: The Snake Pit sees Marcus Lopez and his peers descend deeper into a world of emotional volatility, blood-drenched secrets, and the relentless erosion of youth beneath institutionalized violence. The stakes are higher, the knives are sharper, and the betrayals more venomous than ever before.

Rick Remender (Low, Fear Agent, Black Science) and artist Wes Craig continue their explosive run in this blood-slicked chapter, perfectly balancing raw punk energy with expertly paced storytelling. This volume collects issues #12–16 and stands as one of the most critical arcs in the series, diving into the haunting psychology of adolescence in a world built for killers.

Collectible Value

This first edition trade paperback is an essential entry in the Deadly Class saga. Its unique blend of 1980s subculture aesthetics, narrative intensity, and indie comic legacy has made it a modern classic for fans of Image Comics and beyond.

With the series concluded and interest resurging thanks to its cult television adaptation, volumes such as The Snake Pit are becoming harder to locate in desirable condition. A key addition for readers, collectors, and curators of independent graphic fiction.
