THE ABSOLUTE
AUTHORITY Volume One
Oversized Slipcased Hardcover
In
the twilight of the 20th century, a force emerged to protect the Earth
from outside threats…and from itself. They were the front line. The final
defense. The only hope. They were the Authority — exploding onto the scene
to drop-kick the world into a new millennium and redefine the way we think
about super-hero comics.
Now the first year of WildStorm Productions' groundbreaking title is
collected in THE ABSOLUTE AUTHORITY Volume One — a massive 320-page
slipcased, oversized (8 1/8" x 12 1/4") hardcover edition reprinting THE
AUTHORITY #1-12, the complete run by writer and co-creator Warren Ellis
and artists Bryan Hitch & Paul Neary. THE AUTHORITY is hard-hitting,
high-octane action with dizzying velocity — the story of seven
super-powered individuals who vow to make the world a better place, making
their own rules, answering to nobody, and taking no prisoners.
Strap
yourself in for three unforgettable adventures with super-hero iconoclast
Jenny Sparks, the Spirit of the 20th Century, along with King of the
Cities Jack Hawksmoor, the nanite-infused Engineer, winged Swift, the
reality-altering Doctor, and the genetically-enhanced duo of Apollo and
Midnighter.
Super-terrorists? Interdimensional invaders? A godlike entity from outer
space? Take your best shot. This is the Authority. Pay allegiance or get
your head kicked in.
THE
ABSOLUTE AUTHORITY is brimming with extra behind-the-scenes looks at the
book's creative process, including a full script by Warren Ellis, plus
design and supplementary material provided by the entire creative team.
Experience the Authority in a bold new way.
This
project is supported with house and trade ads.

hardcover. It is advance-solicited and arrives in comic-book stores August
