Description: Aw Yeah Comics is proud to present: Kabuki by David Mack TPB / Hardcover Lot! Volumes 1-7 (Missing 5) With Special Edition Volume 6: Scarab! And a bonus! From the Publisher: Kabuki Vol. 1: Circle of Blood Collecting all six issues of the first Kabuki series plus the hard to find prequel one-shot with new pages of art from scenes that, for space reasons, were left out of the original story. It also includes in-depth notes and story analysis about the subtext of the story. Circle of Blood recounts the origins of the government operative known as Kabuki who works in Japan's near future. It's an exploration of the relationship between Japan's government and organized crime on a truly epic scale! Kabuki Vol. 2: Dreams The Concept: Japan. A horribly scarred woman has a vision of the afterlife in which she is visited by her dead mother, and then returns to life with a new sense of purpose. A personal tale of love, duty, and self discovery, elegantly told through the masks and metaphors of the Japanese Ghost Story. The long-awaited second volume in David Mack's critically acclaimed series. (Please Note! This is not the second edition! It is the earlier publication from 1998! It does NOT include the new David Mack story from the second edition, nor any of the other supplemental materials) Kabuki Vol. 3: Masks of the Noh This series advances the story of Kabuki started in the Circle of Blood through the eyes of the other Noh agents. In a truly fascinating style, each agent is drawn by a different artist. This medium allows, in my opinion [sic], each character to have a separate identity and personality - more so than one artist could have accomplished. Compelling storytelling and wonderful art at its best. Kabuki Vol. 4: Skin Deep The Concept: A woman whose face is horribly scarred finds herself in an institution for "defective" government agents. She (Kabuki) is interrogated to find out if she is hiding something to do with the nature of her scars, or if she is simply crazy. Isolated and psychologically tormented, her only comfort is found in a mystery friend who sends handwritten messages that are folded into origami animals. Or is it just another trick? (Please note: This is the second printing of this trade. It does not include the additional materials from the third printing) Kabuki Vol. 6: Scarab - Lost in Translation Special Edition Hardcover, with Sketch and numbered 122/500! The Concept: She is the bastard child of a head Noh Assassin and a Geisha - her mother murdered and her face horribly scarred by a dishonored half-brother. She wears the mask of a Kabuki to hide the scars, both internal and external, from the world. Kabuki: Scarab picks up right where Kabuki: Metamorphosis left off and answers all the mysteries left dangling from that series. And Scarab is still a self-contained story, so even new readers can start with it. More than the original issues, this handsome 256 page archival hardcover includes a gallery of covers (including the Quesada variant), new pin ups, sketches and character designs, [...] a brand new dust jacket painting by David Mack, and an insightful introduction by Paul Pope. Signed & Numbered with original SKETCH! Limited to 500 copies! (See Photos) Kabuki Vol. 7: The Alchemy Collecting all nine issues of the acclaimed, Eisner Award-nominated Kabuki: The Alchemy series from Marvel's creator-owned Icon imprint! Readers have been waiting to get the newest Kabuki story in paperback form, and this monster volume delivers with loads of extras - including the never-before-seen original ending sequence cut from the single issues, new pages of art, a presentation of the original scripts, remastered pages, new design pages, a commentary by the author, a "best of" letters section and more! A whopping 320 pages, this high-end paperback also features an introduction by Fight Club author Chuck Palahniuk. And as a bonus... Kabuki Reflections #4 This was a series of Kabuki art not necessarily related to the stories, and includes sketches, notes, various characters, test sketches and more! This is a great overview into Mack's process... and it's beautiful, to boot! _____________________________________________________________ This Multiple Volume Mixed Hardcover and TPB set is in excellent condition, with some shelf wear on the earlier volumes.
