Winner of the Eisner Award for Best Graphic Album
472 page hardcover in full color! 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.
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
