The Black Condor was created to have meta-human powers in an experiment conducted by a secret organization...headed by his own ruthless grandfather! That organization's agenda is to bring the world into an elevated, yet despotic future. But the Black Condor prefers to be a part of the present, even if it means being a loner, a fugitive, pursued by the very people who created him...created him to fly! Now the Black Condor has to try to carve out a life for himself in his new hometown of Philadelphia, even as he tries to avoid the two events that could wreck his life: capture by the people who created him to fly...and becoming a super-hero! And that's not easy to do, what with the Jersey Devil stalking a gang of bank robbers and their hostages...drawing a reluctant Black Condor into the confrontation! Written by Brian Augustyn, with art and cover by Rags Morales. Cover price $1.25.

1938 ? before World War II engulfed Europe, all eyes were on the Spanish Civil War. It was a war of fascism versus socialism, dictator versus king, Germany versus Europe, and everyone was choosing sides. What happens when a Spaniard, a German, an Irishman, and an Englishman find themselves trapped in the same foxhole? Their story is told in WAR STORY: CONDORS, the third installment in a 4-part series of 64-page VERTIGO one-shots, written by Garth Ennis (PREACHER, HITMAN, Punisher) with art by Carlos Ezquerra (ADVENTURES IN THE RIFLE BRIGADE). And just as he did with the first highly acclaimed series of WAR STORY books, Ennis delivers a combination of grit and personality that has rocketed him to the top of the comics field. CONDORS tells the tale of four very different soldiers who all want the same thing: to win their war. As battles rage outside of Madrid, the men ? each with his own world view and reasons for fighting ? find themselves face-to-face with the enemy as they all take cover in the same foxhole. With little water or food and just one pistol among them, they must figure out how to survive the night...and each other. WAR STORY: CONDORS is a 64-page VERTIGO one-shot edited by Will Dennis and is suggested for mature readers. It arrives in comic-book stores January 8 with a cover price of $4.95 U.S. Cover price $4.95.
