Foreword by Todd McFarlane.

See the art that helped create the Grammy Award Nominated music video Do the Evolution by legendary band Pearl Jam, a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame 2017 inductee.

Now, the full story of the making of this historic video will be told in this art book. Lushly illustrated by the video's striking animation cells with never before seen storyboards and designs from the video, the video's co-producer, Joe Pearson, will guide readers through the fascinating process of bringing the band's vision to life in this one-of-a-kind book.

I.W. Publishing became notorious for publishing unauthorized reprints of other company's comics, often with new covers.

Appel, Ross Andru, Ben Brown, Bernard Baily, Everett Raymond Kinstler, Syd Shores, Gene Fawcette, and Carl Burgos.

The Punisher's wildest foe is back - give or take a few boy parts - this time he's embarking on a solo mission: playing bodyguard to the son of a dangerous mob boss. Should be a breeze for a guy who went toe-to-toe with Frank Castle and lived to tell about it, right? Guess again. Junior is a hemophiliac - and every crime syndicate in the country can't wait to take a shot at him as payback to his dad.

To survive, Barracuda will have to navigate hitmen, corrupt cops, black ops, a Central American strongman and rescue a damsel in distress. No kidding.
