Jack Kirby

Jack Kirby would have been 92 today.? The giant of American comic books, or perhaps as Tom Spurgeon says, its mighty heart, it’s impossible for me to imagine where I’d be today without his influence. Probably not making comics.

FREAKANGELS VOL 3 TPB
Retail Price: $19.99 US
Cover: Paul Duffield
Writer: Warren Ellis
Art: Paul Duffield
Readership: MR
Format: Full Color, 144 pages, TPB
ISBN ? 1592910785

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION: Volume Three of award-winning author Warren Ellis’ ongoing web comic, FREAKANGELS, is here! This installment collects the entire third arc of the post-apocalyptic saga into 144 gorgeous, full-color pages. Twenty-three years ago, twelve strange children were born in England at exactly the same moment. Six years later, the world ended. Today, eleven strange 23-year-olds are living in and defending Whitechapel, maybe the last real settlement in flooded London. They’ve made a new friend, and together they successfully defended their home from raiders–but the post-apocalyptic drowned London that the eleven Freakangels survive in is never a safe place, and never surrounded by friends. In FREAKANGELS: VOLUME THREE, the FreakAngels begin to address how to build their community while a serial killer stalks in their midst. Everything almost comes crashing down around them as one of their own breaks their most valued rule. Ellis’ ongoing story of a flooded London is beautifully illustrated in jaw-dropping detail by Paul Duffield, and every page is as much a work of art as it is a compelling and multi-layered story. This third collection is also available as a Hardcover edition with an all-new cover by series artist Paul Duffield that is limited to just 2000 copies, and a Dual Signed Hardcover edition, limited to only 1000 copies, signed by both Warren Ellis and Paul Duffield!
