Collected here are all four of the first year's worth of Warren Ellis' Apparat books including Simon Spectorwith art by Jacen Burrows, Angel Stomp Futurewith art by Juan Jose Ryp, QuitCitywith art by Laurenn McCubbin, and Frank Ironwine with art by Carla Speed McNeil! The four Apparatbooks are inspired by the pulp magazines of the 1930s and imagine modern day comic books that evolved from the pulps without the influence of super-heroes. Ellis also includes over 10 pages of new essays on the inspiration behind, and the creation of, these self-contained stories.
