For the FIRST TIME in full color, the winner of the Eisner Award for
Best Graphic Album is available in three trade paperback volumes
complete and unabridged! A New York Times Bestseller, RASL is Jeff
Smith's follow up to his epic fantasy BONE. A tightly wound mixture of
science fiction, noir and conspiracy theories, RASL is a gritty,
hard-boiled tale of an inter-dimensional art thief caught between dark
government forces and the mysterious powers of the universe itself.
Deeply buried secrets beckon in the second part of Jeff Smith's
hardboiled science fiction opus. Even as Rasl pieces together the clues
around him, his personal life is coming apart, and the mysterious little
girl brings a warning from the multiverse itself! Originally serialized
in black & white comic books and graphic novels, the award winning
completed novel is embellished with muted, smoky color by Steve Hamaker
and Jeff Smith. Praised by The Village Voice, USA Today, NPR, Physics
Today, Booklist, The Onion/AV Club, Paste, Publishers Weekly and
more.--Jeff Smith
