THE COSMIC KNOCKOUT

A Love Story with the Devil
by Izzy Aha

Somewhere over the rainbow...there is hell.

Cosmic Knockout, a Love Story with the Devil, is a descent into madness where sanity is insane and insanity is the refuge, a sci-fi take on Greek tragedy and the Second Coming. Inspired by a true story where a young man, Izzy Aha finds love and himself in an insane asylum; possessed by an aberration, misguided by a false prophet within himself, he becomes his own tour guide through hell.

Cosmic Knockout is an apocalyptic delusion; a multi-layered, surreal, dream-like odyssey run rampant, where mutants and superbeings intermingle with the mad and the workingman, ultimately leading to a showdown with the Devil and Devil within himself. Can our hero save the world and himself as it teeters on the brink?

Cosmic Knockout has film/print/music/multi-media potential. Told with the aid of full-color paintings and a companion CD containing original songs of horror, madness, forgiveness and love the Cosmic Knockout will knock you out!
