World Without End: The Complete Collection - Hardcover

by Jamie Delano (Author), John Higgins (Illustrator), Stephen R. Bissette (Afterword by)

"Everything comics have the potential to achieve. It still leaves me in awe." -- Black Gate Magazine.
"Jamie Delano is quite simply one of the most talented and influential comics writers of his generation." -- CBR.com
Millions of years in the future, a new world emerges -- a world made of living flesh, surrounded by acidic seas. Rotten at the edges, awash in gangrene swamps, and bristling with mountains of bone, the planet's simmering core houses the stark city of Bedlam, where an all-male race suppresses every manifestation of femininity. In this magnificently illustrated dreamscape of brutality and eroticism, a mysterious female presence called Rumour arises to challenge super-commando Brother Bones in a deadly war between the sexes.
World Without End offers a compelling blend of science-fiction allegory and fantasy adventure. Author Jamie Delano's unique vision of a strange, immersive world is perfectly complemented by John Higgins's stunning illustrations. The epic tale was originally published by DC Comics as a six-part series. This edition is its first single-volume publication. Suggested for mature readers.
