The Breathtaker Collection cover

The long-awaited remastered edition of the acclaimed graphic novel - including an introduction by Neil Gaiman. All love withers and dies... but for Chase Darrow, it is literally the kiss of death! Chase Darrow is a beautiful weapon. The US government gave her a sexual power that makes her utterly alluring - the perfect weapon for espionage. Yet to kiss a man leaves his lifeforce drained and means that no one can love her without paying the ultimate price. But Chase is now on the run from The Man - another government creation and the first superhero. All machismo, he is sent to bring Chase back, but which weapon will prove the most powerful - love or death? The Breathtaker Collection features the original four-part cult-classic, plus an all-new origin comic following The Man, by Marc Hempel (The Sandman, Heavy Metal, Hellraiser, Lucifer ) and Mark Wheatley (Johnny Quest, EZ Street, Frankenstein Mobster) and features a foreword by Neil Gaiman (The Sandman, American Gods, Good Omens). Remastered and reprinted, experience the original Breathtaker story in an all new light.

"Strong and surprising... seamless work!" - Neil Gaiman "This is why I read comic books" - Walter Simonson (Thor, Fantastic Four, Detective Comics) "Inspirational Work!" - Mark Buckingham (Marvelman, Fables, The Sandman) "Take my money!" - Mark Waid (Captain America, The Flash, Superman: Birthright) "Compelling, thrilling and deeply moving!" - Comics Review
