35 YEARS IN THE MAKING: THE MOST ANTICIPATED GRAPHIC NOVEL IN
RECENT HISTORY *A GUARDIAN 'BOOKS OF 2021' PICK* The year is 1964.
Bailey doesn't realize he is about to fulfil his tragic destiny
when he walks into a US Army recruitment office. Secretive,
damaged, innocent, trying to forget a past and looking for a
future, Bobby is the perfect candidate for a secret US government
experiment, an unholy continuation of a genetics program that was
discovered in Nazi Germany nearly 20 years earlier in the waning
days of World War II. Bailey's only ally and protector, Sergeant
McFarland, intervenes, which sets off a chain of cascading events
that spin out of everyone's control. As the monsters of the title
multiply, becoming real and metaphorical, the story reaches a
crescendo of moral reckoning. A 360-page tour de force of visual
storytelling, Monsters' narrative canvas is copious: part familial
drama, part thriller, part metaphysical journey, it is an intimate
portrait of individuals struggling to reclaim their lives and an
epic political odyssey that plays across two generations of
American history. Monsters is rendered in Barry Windsor-Smith's
impeccable pen-and-ink technique, the visual storytelling, with its
sensitivity to gesture and composition, the most sophisticated of
the artist's career. There are passages of heartbreaking
tenderness, of excruciating pain, of redemption and sacrifice, and
devastating violence. Monsters is surely one of the most intense
graphic novels ever drawn.
THE MOST PRIMITIVE MAN, THE MOST POWERFUL WEAPON Abducted from his
own time by the predatory Spider Aliens and displaced to the
present day, Aric of Dacia will make war on his one-time captors
and any who stand with them. Armed with a sentient suit of battle
armor and savagery born in an age of war, he will become the hero
this new age demands. Tyrants from beyond time and space,
superpowered corporate raiders, and corrupt government power
brokers... all will quake in fear where X-O Manowar dares to tread.
Featuring groundbreaking work from comic-book legends Jim Shooter
(Secret Wars), Bob Layton (Iron Man), Barry Windsor-Smith (Weapon
X), Joe Quesada (Daredevil), Steve Englehart (Detective Comics) and
many more, the complete adventures of Valiant's original armored
hero begin here in the first Valiant Classic Collection of the
series Graphic Policy calls "a must read"! Collecting X-O MANOWAR
(1992) #0-9, and X-O DATABASE #1.
