As announced at San Diego Comic-Con, Dark Horse Comics is
proud to bring Polar, the lauded silent webcomic by Victor Santos (Mice
Templar, Filthy Rich), to print—available for the first time ever with
dialogue!
A guns-blazing espionage action-adventure in the grand
tradition of Jim Steranko and Frank Miller, this graphic novel is a brutal,
fast-tempo story of revenge that Newsarama says is “as ice-cold as its name.”
Though Polar was originally released as a silent webcomic, Santos has crafted a
script as hard boiled and intriguing as his art for this hardcover collection.
“Polar began as a tribute to the greatness of graphic
storytelling. Watching it improve and evolve into the version readers will see
in the book printed by one of my favorite publishers, I can only say: Mission
accomplished, old soldier,” said creator Victor Santos.
Ripped out of retirement by an assassination attempt, the
world’s most deadly spy—the former agent known as Black Kaiser—is a wanted man
that’s wanted . . . dead! On a collision course with his former employer, the
Damocles Agency, Black Kaiser goes head to head with a stab-happy, psychotic
torture expert and a seductive but deadly redhead. His mission only ends if he
dies or kills everyone out to get him, and he’s not in the habit of dying.
Additional praise for Victor Santos’s Polar:
“A beautiful, if bloody, webcomic . . . an engaging
experiment in color, style, and wordless storytelling.”—CBR’s Robot 6
Polar: Came from the Cold is on sale December 11 in
stores everywhere.
