Book SynopsisA new book in Bryan Talbot's award-winning science fiction graphic novels series, starring the legendary character Luther ArkwrightThe Adventures of Luther Arkwright, first serialised in 1978, is considered by many to be the first British graphic novel. Praised by many writers and artists, including Alan Moore, Neil Gaiman, Jean Giroud (Moebius) and Michael Moorcock, the ground-breaking, experimental adult SF story was a seminal work, inspiring and influencing many comic creators. Its sequel, Heart Of Empire, was published in 2001. Both books have been continually in print since they were first published.Set fifty years later, The Legend of Luther Arkwright is another stand-alone story. While still maintaining total continuity with the Arkwright mythos, it is a different kind of adult adventure. Pursued across multiple historically divergent parallel worlds, both utopian and dystopian, and facing a far superior adversary, Arkwright battles to save humanity from mass destruction; his only edge is his experience and force of will.The Legend of Luther Arkwright, beautifully drawn by master storyteller and Eisner Award-winning comics creator Bryan Talbot, is a milestone in British comics history.Trade ReviewBryan Talbot is the most important comic creator in Great Britain. -- Teddy Jamieson * Herald Scotland *Superbly designed, beautifully conceived, admirably written - everything about them is terrific. * Philip Pullman, on the GRANDVILLE series *I've never come across a fictional world as fully-realised as Bryan Talbot's Grandville...

You will miss appointments. If you don't force yourself to set it down and talk to your family from time to time, you may be looking for a new place to live. Reading The Invaders Plan is simply the most fun you can have by yourself." -ORSON SCOTT CARD "Marvelous satire by a master of adventure." -ANNE MCCAFFREY "A delicious read ... as one would expect of an experienced pro." -WASHINGTON POST "An outrageous and wildly funny read." -SAN FRANCISCO EXAMINER "I loved Mission Earth. The CIA will hate it. Hubbard has produced a real knee-slapper...Few writers have had the knack of making a serious philosophical point without ever stopping to preach, without ever slowing the action for an instant."-RAY FARADAY NELSON "Hubbard not only broke all the rules but he blazed a new literary path when he completed the monumental 1.2-million-word Mission Earth in slightly less than eight months." -William J. Widder "A thriller packed with lust, laughs, adventure and murderous intrigue." -Literary Guild "This ambitious novel, the first of a 10-volume series by SF veteran Hubbard ... is space opera in the grand tradition..." -Library Journal
