So this is what Joey Q was talking about with Marvel's new creator-owned imprint? Well, I certainly wish everyone involved the best of luck. Marvel could use it in this arena, as they have a bitterly long-standing and very bad track record when it comes to creators' rights. But let's not single them out - both of the Big Two do and it's what led to the formation of none other than Image!Eisner-nominated superstar writer/artist David Mack presents a groundbreaking collection of his acclaimed work in Kabuki: The Alchemy HC. Collecting all nine issues of the critically-lauded, Eisner Award-nominated KABUKI: THE ALCHEMY series from Marvel's creator-owned Icon imprint – for the first time ever!—this is an unprecedented look at Mack's work! This hardcover is chock full of bonus material including original scripts, a "best of fan letters" section, never before seen art and new story pages, including updated versions of previously published scenes! If that's not enough, acclaimed Fight Club author Chuck Palahniuk provides a powerful introduction to one of comics' most acclaimed series and a special afterword from Mack himself!
"At 320 pages this is the largest collection of any of my work, and I think the most diverse and best example of my work in comics," explained Mack. "The Alchemy is my favorite of the Kabuki volumes so far and my most evolved work as both writer and artist."
Plus, don't miss the Kabuki: The Alchemy Limited Edition HC, packaged with a signed and numbered original brush & ink sketch on parchment paper! Both Kabuki: The Alchemy HC and The Kabuki: Alchemy Limited Edition HC feature an embossed cover and spine; watermark design on the interior pages; and a special bookmark!
