From Atomeka comes the triumphant return of A1, the multi-award-winning, pro-favorite independent comics anthology! This first issue features: The Bo Jefferies Saga, Alan Moore and Steve Parkhouse's lost classic of supernormal suburbia, presented in a newly reformatted 13-page version (available nowhere else), as well as Alan and Steve's original 4-page prologue; Alien screenwriter Ronald Shusett and artist Steve Pugh bring us Shark-Man, an underwater hero that actually works!; Dave Gibbons and Ted McKeever's Survivor, a startling dissection of the demigod hero genre, that was acclaimed as "the best non-Superman, Superman story ever written."; and Master storyteller Steve Dillon scribes a brilliantly poignant tale of life and loss as only he can tell it, in Kathleen's House. Ships with four different covers in an equal ratio.
