THE KING HELL HEROICA

Starting in 1991, Rick Veitch began an ambitious five book cycle of graphic novels called the KING HELL HEROICA. So far, two of the novels, BRATPACK and THE MAXIMORTAL, have been completed and collected and a third is underway as the SUPER SPECIAL Series of comics. The third printing of the BRATPACK Trade Paperback is sold out, so the only edition currently available is the signed and numbered hardcover. A fourth printing of the BRATPACK Trade Paperback is hoped for next year.

You must be 18 or over to purchase BRATPACK or THE MAXIMORTAL.

THE MAXIMORTAL tells the origin of the ultimate heroic IDEA made flesh and it's hidden impact on 20th century history. Beginning with a thunderous explosion over the Siberian subcontinent, through the atomic devastation of Hiroshima and beyond, THE MAXIMORTAL is a true epic, told through the astonishing stories of the human beings caught in its ever widening wake. Reprinting the first seven issues of the KING HELL/TUNDRA series in a deluxe black and white format, with Veitch's meditation on the archetype, "CURSE OF THE SUPERMAN" as an afterward.

At last, the highly acclaimed and long out-of-print MAXIMORTAL series is collected in trade paperback. For those who take their superheroes seriously, this is good news indeed, for author/artist RICK VEITCH has been turning the form inside-out, upside-down, and outside-in since the early 1980's when he helped kick off the revisionist superhero genre with such mind-bending series as THE ONE and his award winning stint on DC's SWAMP THING. Veitch went on to inflict the world with the wildly successful successful BRATPACK, which, seven years on, still reigns as the darkest and most biting Swiftian satire ever foisted on an unsuspecting comics industry. But, without a doubt, THE MAXIMORTAL remains Veitch's most mature and in-depth approach to the subject of superheroes, wedding a sweeping view of comics history and lore to the kind of personal vision and outrageous twists that have made his work some of the most original and thought-provoking around.

What's the matter, Bunky? Had it up to here with mass marketed, cookie cutter superheroes? Sick to death of seeing your childhood icons callously manipulated by giant amoral corporations merely to separate you from your hard-earned shekels? Are you mad as hell at the manufactured glut of non-readable "collector's items" that have replaced a cherished slice of Americana on the shelves?

If that sounds like you, and if you're finally ready to read your last superhero book ever, then, Bunky, BRATPACK is what you want. Rick Veitch's unflinching dissection of the hoary old 'kid sidekick' phenomena gives no quarter as he rips back the covers to expose the whole rotten substructure beneath the 'superhero industrial complex'. One of the most iconoclastic comic book series of the nineties, BRATPACK has been a perennial favorite and a cult classic among the burgeoning revisionist superhero movement, and remains as irreverently relevant as when it was first published.

After selling out three printings of the Trade Paperback, KING HELL PRESS is proud to offer this fine hardcover edition for the true BRATPACK fanatic. The quality hardcover is beautifully embossed and comes with protective vellum dust jackets. A color signature has been added to include all of Veitch's outrageous covers from the mini-series. The books are personally signed and numbered in a limited edition of 750 copies.
Forward by Neil Gaiman.
