Billi 99

FROM THE LIBRARY OF COMIC LEGEND DAVE GIBBONS!

World War III hit, and nobody noticed. Lost amidst the crooked politicians and corrupt corporate practices of the late 20th century, the American Dream became polluted and drowned out, replaced instead with an ever-growing chasm between the "haves" and "have-nots."

No one is more aware of this than Billi Chadam. Daughter of honest industrialist Ray Chadam and heiress to the multi-billion dollar Chadam International empire, Billi finds herself in a whirlpool of murder and corporate espionage, framed for her father's death, and on the run from those who are supposed to be her allies. But Billi has a secret, one she shared with her father before he was taken from her.

By night Billi dons the mask of the Sword of Toledo, a blade-wielding vigilante bringing hope to the oppressed and striking fear in the oppressors. There's more to saving her city than sword-waving heroics can accomplish, though, and before the tensions between her company's employees and the city's on-the-take police force reach a boiling point, Billi must set the balance right, no matter what the cost.

Celebrate the genius and artistry of Tim Sale with one of his earliest published works, Billi 99. While his collaborations with Jeph Loeb on stories such as Spider-Man: Blue, Batman: The Long Halloween and Superman: For All Seasons, would elevate Tim to legendary status, Billi 99 revealed Tim's master storytelling talents. Billi 99 contains over 200 pages of breathtaking, lovingly painted, duo-shade art, with the hand lettering that would become Tim's official font. Sarah and Tim's book went on to be nominated for three Eisner awards!

This comes from the personal collection of legendary comic artist Dave Gibbons and features a certificate of authenticity!
