Absolute Authority Vol. 1 (new Edition)

Warren Ellis' New York Times bestseller, THE AUTHORITY, is given the Absolute treatment, as the critically acclaimed series is repackaged here in an oversize hardcover edition, complete with a beautiful slipcase featuring new art from acclaimed illustrator Bryan Hitch. ABSOLUTE AUTHORITY VOL. 1 contains exclusive behind-the-scenes material, including variant covers, concept sketches and scripts. The Authority are heroes in only the strictest sense of the word. Ruthless and unforgiving, this group of insanely powerful super-humans face down countless menaces to Earth, protecting mankind with their cold version of justice. An invasion from an alternate Earth, an international terrorist who is laying waste to major cities, and a hostile alien intelligence who calls himself God all fall under their rule. This is THE AUTHORITY. Pay allegiance. Or get your head kicked in. Created by legendary writer Warren Ellis (THE WILD STORM, TRANSMETROPOLITAN) and artists Bryan Hitch (JUSTICE LEAGUE), Paul Neary ( The Ultimates ) and Laura Martin (WONDER WOMAN), THE AUTHORITY is considered one of the most groundbreaking titles in modern comics history. Collects issues #1-12, PLANETARY/THE AUTHORITY: RULING THE WORLD and a new story from WILDSTORM: A CELEBRATION OF 25 YEARS.

Warren Ellis is a comics and graphic novel writer best known for the graphic novel series TRANSMETROPOLITAN, PLANETARY and THE AUTHORITY. With over 35 graphic novels in print, Ellis has received numerous accolades, including winning the International Horror Guild award for graphic narrative and being named one of ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY'S 100 Most Creative People. ROLLING STONE described his work as "more influenced by Jesus and Mary Chain than by the JUSTICE LEAGUE, while his characters fight for left-wing agendas over God and country, and kick puppies in the street."
