Joining the team to unleash the first all-new Will Eisner cover to hit comic shops in DECADES with — WARBIRD #1 Will Eisner Old Masters Edition!

It’s not hyperbole to say that Will Eisner is the most influential cartoonist in American comics history.

A trailblazing pioneer, Eisner invented much of the language of American comics with his groundbreaking newspaper serial, The Spirit. He is known as the Father of the Graphic Novel with the release of the 1978 seminal classic, A Contract With God. He revolutionized comics again in 1985 with the landmark Comics and Sequential Art, one of the first in-depth looks into graphic storytelling which became an invaluable tool to future comic creators.

Now, he’s joined the summer’s global/spy thriller with a never-before-seen Old Masters cover, evoking one of the most iconic comic covers of all time, The Spirit #22.

This open order cover arrives in stores August 26th.To secure your copy of WARBIRD #1 Will Eisner Old Masters Edition, you must contact your local comic shop ahead of Final Order Cutoff on Monday, July 27th!

Cole is a repo man of the highest caliber, repossessing heavily guarded mega yachts from billionaires, private planes from captains of industry, and everything in-between. If it’s got an engine, he can drive it, ride it, or fly it straight out from under the nose of an army of guards, for a 10% fee.

But now he’s been brought the job of a lifetime—an impossible job. One that will bring him face to face with the highest stakes. The Russians have stolen aeronautical military secrets from China, France, Germany, the UK, and the US to Frankenstein together the ultimate bleeding edge, next-gen fighter jet: the Spearhead.

There are only three of them in existence. They are an absolute force of nature dominating every global hotspot from Syria to Ukraine. Cole’s been hired to steal one… and destroy the other two. And at a price of $500 million each, his fee is a cool $50 million.

But this isn’t a repo. This is outright theft. And failure doesn’t mean jail time and fines—it means a bullet to the back of the head.
