Description
Described as superheroes through the lens of Elmore Leonard & Quentin Tarantino, this uber-hip, groundbreaking series of tour de force stories from New York Times best-selling author Matt Kindt (BRZRKR) and iconoclastic illustrator David Lapham (STRAY BULLETS) is now being made widely available for the very first time. This meticulously curated collection contains the complete saga of THE HERO TRADE thus far, as well as a wealth of bonus material and behind-the-scenes content exclusive to this edition. The seemingly straightforward tale of a man with the body of a superhero in the trunk of his car, driving from one nefarious organization to another and selling it piece by piece. An ordinary man at the end of his rope, this score is his last shot, one night to make good. He's bound and determined to carve out a place for himself in this world, even if he has to do it one bloody body part of Captain Fab at a time. His black market buyers all looking for a piece of the superpowered action, to own a piece of the paragon. To collect it. To touch it. Even taste it. Because eating even a tiny piece of The Fab? Grants you unbelievable powers. Ingest a drop of Captain Fab’s blood? Develop a miraculous healing factor. Feast on an eyeball, snort some teeth dust, dine fabulously and take the ride… although the powers you get may not be what you expected. This is THE HERO TRADE. There have been many groundbreaking explorations into the superhero genre. This is not one of them. However, it may be the first groundbreaking exploration of the people who consume the superhero genre.
