Lazarus: The First Collection—a pretty substantial hardcover volume, collection issues 1–9 of the Rucka/Lark Image Comics series, Lazarus—hits store
shelves tomorrow.
The book includes the first 9 issues (which comprise the "Family" and "Lift" story arcs), plus a short preview comic that originally appeared in Diamond Comics' Previews catalog, as well as roughly 40 pages of bonus material.
The bonus material includes a never-before-seen geopolitical map of the world of Lazarus, plus complete bios on each of the major "Families" in the setting, a universe timeline, a
gallery of the fake adverts I create for the series' back covers, process art from cover artist Owen Freeman, and a ton of previously-unseen artwork for series artist/co-creator Michael
Lark.
I did the layout and graphic design for the volume, and it contains rather a lot of the behind-the-scenes work I do on Lazarus, and I must confess to a fair amount of pride in this edition.
I hope you'll check it out.
