"Colorful and relevant..." -Slate From the creator of the New York Times bestselling series SAGA, comes the three-time, Eisner nominated, PanelSyndicate.com's digital comics sensation THE PRIVATE EYE! Finally, this book is coming to print in a beautiful deluxe hardcover edition!Set in an inevitable future of where everyone has a secret identity, THE PRIVATE EYE is an eerily prescient sci-fi mystery about an unlicensed private investigator who stumbles onto the most important case of his life. The series is set in 2076, a time after "the cloud has burst", revealing everyone's secrets. As a result, there is no more Internet, and people are excessively guarded about their identity, to the point of appearing only masked in public. "Readers and retailers have been begging us for a physical version of this story ever since we first announced our hard-boiled parable about the future of privacy in America, so when the time came, Marcos and I knew that we had to go with Image Comics, the most creator-friendly publisher of print comics ever." -Brian K. Vaughan

BOOKLIST (STARRED) -- Inthe future, everyone will have an alias. In a world where all online secretshave been revealed, people now adopt aliases and masks to hide their privatelives; it's the perfect place for a private investigator, like PI. When hisclient is murdered hours after assigning him, PI and his assistants violentlyunravel a conspiracy bigger than any of them, aiming to change the course ofsociety. Vaughan (Saga,2012), known for his unique world building and suspenseful story arcs, haspossibly outdone himself with this one. Combining the archetypes of a grippingnoir mystery with commentary on contemporary obsession with social media, hetells a story as poignant as it is compelling. In one sense, calling this uniquevolume a graphic novel does not do it justice, as the oblong, widescreen formatof the book makes it more cinematic than merely graphic, expertly mimicking thevery film genres that inspired it. Martin's character design elevates this tobreathtaking art, adding a richly colored, retro-futurist flare to every costumeand backdrop. With stunning artwork, propulsive sequential-art storytelling, anda thought-provoking premise, this is truly one of akind.
