Overview
At the end of 2021, as the world was recovering from a close call with its own cataclysm, Ben Mauro was preparing to unleash the dystopian sci-fi epic HUXLEY, which he’d been chiselling away at for the best part of a decade. Lauded as one of the most imaginative new properties to emerge in the comic space for a generation, the kernel of an idea had been crafted into a stellar graphic masterpiece that was the first small step on an ambitious roadmap to and through the cosmos. The next step is here.
The space opera unfolds on a planet ravaged by nuclear war and left desolate, its survival ensured only by the machinations of AIs that keep FURY-7 turning. Centuries after the fortunate escaped the nuclear devastation, two Ronin scavengers, Max and Kai, are deployed to harvest resources from the barren wastelands beyond the city limits. During a routine expedition, they stumble upon Huxley, an ancient atomic robot that could lead them to further riches. But their chance discovery puts Max, Kai and Huxley on a treacherous path that will put them in the sights of the world’s AIs, black-market parts dealers and a relentless cybernetic stalker known as the Demon.
The HUXLEY collection binds up all six issues of the groundbreaking graphic novel saga into one stunning hardback package, but that's just the beginning. The collection contains a gallery of front covers used for the original digital issues and an extensive array of behind-the-scenes sketches, storyboards and commentary that show Mauro's meticulous creative process.
As HUXLEY begins its metamorphosis into a world-renowned IP, this is a chance to be a part of sci-fi graphic novel history and own an edition of the story that kicked off the phenomenon.
