1st printing. Collects Blackburne Covenant (2003) #1-4. Written by Fabian Nicieza. Art by Stefano Raffaele. Fabian Nicieza, one of the best-selling writers of superhero comics, teams with Italian horror artist Stefano Raffaele, for a story he's been waiting to unleash since the 1980s. Someone is following popular fantasy novelist Richard Kaine. Not a demented fan, not a jilted lover. Someone interested in finding out how Richard came up with his runaway bestselling novel. Because, unbeknownst to Richard, his fantasy novel was non-fiction. How could Richard have written about an even no one should have known about, after it had been meticulously eradicated from human history? Who are the Blackburne Covenant? And how could the secrets they've been concealing for hundreds of years completely change life on Earth? They're willing to kill Richard Kaine in order to keep him quiet. A story unlike anything you've seen in comics, The Blackburne Covenant is a fast-paced and intelligent spin on Umberto Eco, Jorge Luis Borges, J. R. R. Tolkein, and J. K. Rowling all rolled into one. Softcover, 104 pages, full color. Cover price $12.95.
