About this Collection

This Epic Collection gathers Deadpool's early solo adventures from the late 1990s, including the complete run of his first ongoing series (#1-17) and the 'Deadpool/Death' annual. Written by Joe Kelly with art by Ed McGuinness and others, these issues establish the Merc with a Mouth's signature fourth-wall-breaking humor while introducing key supporting characters like Blind Al, Weasel, and the villainous T-Ray. The collection also features crossovers with Cable, Siryn, and Taskmaster, cementing Deadpool's transition from a Spider-Man villain to a fan-favorite antihero in the Marvel Universe.

In "It's D-D-Deadpool, Folks!", the Merc with a Mouth returns from a Bolivia-based revolution—complete with a suitcase full of revolutionary currency—to confront Patch at Merc Central. His next assignment takes him to Antarctica, where he clashes with Sasquatch and accidentally triggers a meltdown at a gamma research station, forcing him to think on his feet to prevent a continent-wide disaster. When offered a chance at a new life with Landau, Luckman and Lake, Deadpool, ever the antihero, declines with a grin—some things, like chaos, are just too good to give up. Written by Joe Kelly and brought to life with sharp, kinetic art by Ed McGuinness, inks by Nathan Massengill, and vibrant colors by Chris Lichtner and Digital Chameleon, the cover by McGuinness and Massengill captures Deadpool’s signature flair in full.
