An unforgettable epic, the work of a lifetime, is finally
collected in an ultimate, six-part library!
Visionary. Maverick. Rebel. Master storyteller.
Iconoclast. Genius. Jack Katz has been called all of these things since he
began his illustrated magnum opus in 1974, creating a tale that follows in the
vein of a futuristic, post-civilization The Odyssey or The Iliad!
Now, exclusively from Titan Comics, comes this long-lost
treasure from a golden age in comics creation – as it’s never been seen before.
Remastered and packed with exclusive features, this sumptuous volume collects
the first part of a tale for which the term ‘epic’ was invented!
After nuclear armageddon devastates the Earth, the
survivors become playthings of resurgent ‘gods’. As civilisations rise and
fall, as loves and lives are lost, the future of humanity will be won by
uncovering the secrets of the past.
The First Kingdom is presented here in a complete
collectors' library for the first time, replete with cleaned and restored art
taken from high-resolution scans of the original art pages, and completely
relettered throughout.
Comprising six volumes in total, each book also includes
features on the history of the strip, as well as all-new introductions by Jack
Katz and his many industry fans!
"Katz works like an atomic reactor overloading to a
dangerous intensity... A Masterpiece." - Jim Steranko
"The avid buyers of Jack's monumental saga, numerous
and loyal, can attest to the eloquence and mesmerising sweep of
characters and situations rarely seen in standard commercial fare." - Jack
Kirby
"Reading The First Kingdom is like seeing captured
on paper glimpses of a dream-world depicted by an artists with remarkable
creative vision." - Jerry Seigel, creator of Superman.
