Publisher's Synopsis

Regency College senior Julian Brehm, finds himself falling in love with Nina Rinaldi, a beautiful young revolutionary whose political activities against the authoritarian regime that rules the country and wages a deceitful, distracting war derails his uneventful student life. His love and moral alliance to Nina eventually lead him into an undercity beneath the metropolis, and then into the war zone itself, where mortal danger in that expanding cemetery of millions threatens Julian's life, but what he witnesses will alter how he perceives the Republic and ultimately his fate within it.

About the Publisher

Fantagraphics Books

Fantagraphics Books

Fantagraphics Books has been a leading proponent of comics as a legitimate form of art and literature since it began publishing the critical trade magazine The Comics Journal in 1976. By the early 1980s, Fantagraphics found itself at the forefront of the burgeoning movement to establish comics as a medium as eloquent and expressive as the more established popular arts of film, literature, poetry, et al. Fantagraphics quickly established a reputation as an advocacy publisher that specialized in seeking out and publishing the kind of innovative work that traditional comics corporations who dealt almost exclusively in super-heroes and fantasy either didn?t know existed or wouldn?t touch: serious, dramatic, historical, journalistic, political, and satirical work by a new generation of alternative cartoonists as well as many artists who gained prominence as part of the seminal underground comix movement of the '60s. Fantagraphics has since gained an international reputation for its literate and audacious editorial standards and its exacting production values.
