About this Collection

This oversized hardcover collects the first half of Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon's landmark Vertigo series, following the profane, chain-smoking preacher Jesse Custer as he embarks on a cross-country road trip in search of a missing God. Custer, bonded with a supernatural entity called Genesis, is joined by his ex-girlfriend Tulip O'Hare and the Irish vampire Cassidy, while the relentless Saint of Killers and other bizarre characters—including the disfigured Arseface and the corrupt Grail organization—pursue them. The volume includes issues #1–26 of the original series, presented in DC's Absolute format with restored colors and extensive bonus material.

In "The Time of the Preacher," Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon launch a gripping new chapter in the Absolute Preacher series, where Si takes Jesse to meet a man claiming to speak with God—uncovering unsettling truths about his friend. As Cassidy begins to question Si’s past, a chilling phone call from the "Reaver-Cleaver" killer sends Detective Tool into a darkening mystery. The cover by Steve Dillon captures the story’s grim intensity, setting the tone for a tale that blends faith, violence, and the unknown.
