• From New York Times bestselling writer Kurt Busiek (Astro City, Marvels), rising-star artist Benjamin Dewey (I Was the Cat, Tragedy Series), and award-winning colorist Jordie Bellaire, The Autumnlands begins an epic fantasy tale of survival and adventure in a world of beast-wizards, sorcery, brutality, and hope.
• This specially-priced volume collects the first six issues of the hit series for adults that Wired calls “...deep, rich and quirky enough to stand leagues ahead of its competition.”
