Illustrated by the king of detail-packed penciling George Perez, master of amazing anatomy Gil Kane, and 1970s up-and-comer Keith Pollard, with scripts by the fan-favorite writer that crafted many of the era's greatest epics, Doug Moench, it's a singular saga that's collected here for the very first time!
