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. When
Rasl, a thief and ex-military engineer, discovers the lost journals of
Nikola Tesla, he bridges the gap between modern physics and history's
most notorious scientist. But his breakthrough comes at a great personal
price. In this twisting tale of intrigue and betrayal, Rasl finds
himself in possession of humankind's deepest, most dangerous secret.
