About

A COMICS ODYSSEY AND SPACE OPERA OF BIBLICAL PROPORTIONS!

Beloved and admired by such masters of the form as Will Eisner, Jack Kirby and Jim Steranko, Jack Katz’s one-man, lifelong epic is finally collected and back in print in four incredible volumes, complete with newly-restored artwork and lettering! The Earth – and humanity – have been all but destroyed by atomic hellfire. This is the generations-spanning tale of what happened next…

The first in a series of Homeric, post-apocalyptic graphic novels, following the vein of a futuristic, post-civilization The Odyssey orThe Iliad!

Author Jack Katz began his illustrated magnum opus in 1974, creating an epic tale that still awaits its unbelievable conclusion - soon to be published exclusively by Titan!

Shaded by hints of William Blake and seasoned by Milton's Paradise Lost, this grandstanding future epic is part space opera, part creation myth, with a dab of pulp sword & sorcery fantasy, all coupled to a pantheon of gods, the evolution of mankind, a muscled barbarian leading his people to glory, mutants, gods, monsters, lust, intrigue, the creation of the universe - this one has it all!
