The work that brought writer Nat Gertler his Eisner Award nomination is collected in book form for the first time. This is a super-hero tale where you never see the super-hero. Instead, a series of connected short stories show how his presence effects the lives of everyone else: the cop on the beat, the crook on the street, the reporter, the retiree, the kid playing with a doll of the hero. Over 20 stories, illustrated by Eisner- and Friends of Lulu Award-nominee Justine Shaw (Nowhere Girl), Joe Staton, Ignatz Award- and Friends Of Lulu Award-winner and six-time Eisner nominee Carla Speed McNeil, mini-comics pioneer Matt Feazell, and many more.

Comics writers have fertile imaginations and great story-telling skill. Here they step out from behind the artists to show off their prose writing abilities. Included in this volume are:  "Louise," a tale from Max Allan Collins about his comic book detective, Ms. Tree, "Toto, I Have a Feeling We're Not in Kansas Anymore," a humorous science fiction tale about some odd mayhem taking place at an amusement park that hadn't been there the day before, "The Black '59," a rock'n'roll horror story about a guitar that holds the soul of a musician, a crime story by Kurt Busiek, "Life in Fur," which is about as sensitive, caring, and sweet as a werewolf story should be, and five more.

<li>Some are born to be heroes, and some are trained to be heroes, but not the DNAgents. No, they were manufactured. Matrix Incorporated brewed them in a laboratory to be super soldiers without souls. But nobody told them that.</li> <li>This is the first of a series of volumes chronicling the adventures of Surge, Tank, Rainbow, Amber, and Sham, five superheroes in teenage bodies venturing out into the world for the first time. They're well designed to handle the bad guys, but now they also have to handle life.</li>

DNAgents Volume 1: Born Orphans (DNAGENTS TP)

Evanier,Mark

<ul> <li>A large comics convention is a sea of humanity, with tens of thousands ofpeople thronging. And yet, like any sea it is made up of individual drops. Eachof those people has hopes and dreams, scams and schemes, and reasons for beingat this place, at this time.</li> <li>The Big Con is an original graphic novel, but it's made up of smallersegments, tales of individuals that form a larger picture when brought together.There are stories about the fans, about romance between participants in thecostume contest. There are stories about the enthusiastic young creator whosestar is on the rise, and the older creator who can find plenty of people topraise his old work but no one to publish his new efforts. There are the moviestars disguising themselves so they can go out amongst the crowd, and the poorcomics fan who has to make it through the entire convention weekend with lessthan five dollars, no food, and no hotel room. Some of these stories are brightand happy, filled with humor, and some are more somber, showing the lonelinessthat one can only find in the middle of a crowd. Romance, joy, despair and crimewill all be found here.</li> </ul>
