The triumphant return of one of comics’ greatest talents, with an engrossing story of one man’s search for love, meaning, sanity, and perfect architectural proportions. An epic story long awaited, and well worth the wait. Meet Asterios Polyp: middle-aged, meagerly successful architect and teacher, aesthete and womanizer, whose life is wholly upended when his New York City apartment goes up in flames. In a tenacious daze, he leaves the city and relocates to a small town in the American heartland. But what is this “escape” really about? As the story unfolds, moving between the present and the past, we begin to understand this confounding yet fascinating character, and how he’s gotten to where he is. And isn’t. And we meet Hana: a sweet, smart, first-generation Japanese American artist with whom he had made a blissful life. But now she’s gone. Did Asterios do something to drive her away? What has happened to her? Is she even alive? All the questions will be answered, eventually. In the meantime, we are enthralled by Mazzucchelli’s extraordinarily imagined world of brilliantly conceived eccentrics, sharply observed social mores, and deftly depicted asides on everything from design theory to the nature of human perception. Asterios Polyp is David Mazzucchelli’s masterpiece: a great American graphic novel.

Improvvisamente tutto nella vita di Matt Murdock comincia a complicarsi. Come se non bastasse lo stato che gli contesta tasse non pagate e la banca che dice di non ha ricevuto i soldi del mutuo, ora qualcuno lo accusa anche di aver corrotto un testimone. È l’inizio di un viaggio nella disperazione che porta Matt sull’orlo della follia e a un passo dalla morte. Un’odissea causata da Kingpin, l’implacabile signore del crimine che ha scoperto l’identità di chi si nasconde dietro la maschera di Devil! La più famosa e importante saga della storia di Devil, un capolavoro a fumetti che ha ridefinito il mito dell’uomo senza paura scritto e disegnato da Frank Miller e David Mazzucchelli!

L’impensabile è successo. Una persona un tempo amata ha venduto il nome di chi si cela dietro la maschera di Daredevil. Un’informazione grazie alla quale ora Kingpin è intenzionato a sconfiggere una volta per tutte il suo più acerrimo rivale, distruggendone la vita pezzo per pezzo. E, dopo aver toccato il fondo, Matt Murdock scoprirà a proprie spese quanto possa essere difficile risalire. Con Rinascita, Frank Miller (Batman: The Dark Knight Returns) e David Mazzucchelli (Batman: Year One) realizzano la saga definitiva dell’Uomo senza paura: una storia di tradimenti e di amicizie, di odio e di amore, di tragedia e di riscatto. Molto semplicemente: uno dei punti più alti mai raggiunti dai comics di super eroi. [CONTIENE DAREDEVIL (1964) 227-233]

"Each page has been personally scanned by David Mazzucchelli from his own original art at the same size he drew it, and in color (to insure the best possible reproduction). While appearing to be in black and white, each page was scanned in color to mimic as closely as possible the experience of viewing the actual original art - for instance, corrections, blue pencils, paste-overs, all the little nuances that make original art unique. Each page is printed the same size as drawn, and the paper selected is as close as possible to the original art board."--Publisher description.
