Moonshadow: The Definitive Edition--Expanded

Illustrated by Jon J Muth
A romantic, unreliable narrator leads us through his interplanetary coming-of-age story.

Known as America’s first fully painted graphic novel, the poetic, philosophical, and Kirby & Eisner Award-nominated Moonshadow receives a new edition.


Enhanced with a new painted cover by Jon J Muth and an expanded bonus section featuring concept art, early notes from the creative team, and script pages from writer J.M. DeMatteis, this influential, timeless “fairy tale for adults” also includes the Farewell Moonshadow illustrated novella. With gorgeous watercolor artwork by Jon J Muth and contributions from Kent Williams, Kevin Nowlan, and others!
“It’s lovely. It makes you feel better about comics.”—Frank Miller
 
“Beautiful, original, haunting.”—Ray Bradbury

“Call it a comic book. I’m not sure that’s what it is, but call it that and call it wonderful—full of greatness, wisdom, wit, adventure, awe of and reverence for life and the universe. I could make comparisons—to Vonnegut, Keillor, Bradbury and Cordwainer Smith, among others—but really Moonshadow is sui generis. I can’t recommend it highly enough.”—Dennis O’Neil
