Second and third of cover display different backgrounds. After the credits pages, there is the table of content but no introduction (nor afterword).
All painted covers by Massimo Carnivale are included in their virgin form along the main material.
This volume continues with the complete script of issue #53 with pencilled art by Goran Sudzuka (45 pages).
The book finishes with Massimo Carnevale's covers for the series TPB (5 pages) and the commission print for 2014 Lille comics festival.

This is a good collection. Short series... finishes off in 60 volumes... so gets over in 3 absolute editions. Of course, cannot be as good as preacher, maus, or other top comics... but if you already have read and owned the top ones, this is the next best choice.
ReplyDeleteThe book binding, delivery and book condition are top class, no complains... the print and texture are beautiful
