A 13th-century warrior is reborn in the 21st century to battle a demonic foe in this collection of Miller's classic 6-issue miniseries.

Jack Kirby was undoubtedly one of the true geniuses of the comics industry. He created, wrote and drew his own characters. Kirby's major strengths were his ability to create unique, refreshing characters and to visualize any manner of setting or situation. Kirby's writing laid out his message in clear terms. The contrast is striking when compared to his ability to put down on paper the cosmic images in his mind.

Coming from the horrendous world of Apokolips, Scott Free-- the Only Begotten Son of the Lord of New Genesis-- yearned to follow his own path while battling those from his former world who would destroy him or take him back to that hell. The images are as breathtaking now as they were 25 years ago. That abilty to draw unique and awe-inspiring worlds was Kirby's alone. This volume is printed in black and white, with gray tonal values added to enhance the artwork.

Later writers and artists would continue the stories of the Fourth World, but it took Kirby to create them in the first place. Mister Miracle, the super escape artist, was one of Kirby's best charcters from his amazingly fruitful stint at DC during the early 1970s.

This huge 392-page trade contains writer Alan Moore and artist Dave Gibbons' powerful story of a world where superheroes have been outlawed. It's a story of sex, power, betrayal & murder, considered by many to be the most influential story ever produced in the history of comics. The modern superhero was forever changed after the publication of Watchmen.
