About this Collection

This collection presents the complete five-issue run of the 1988 series Fires, published by Catalan Communications. The story follows a group of firefighters battling a series of mysterious and increasingly dangerous blazes in a near-future urban setting, blending action with social commentary. Written and illustrated by Matt Wagner, the series explores themes of heroism, corruption, and environmental decay through its gritty, atmospheric artwork.

In "Fires," Lorenzo Mattotti crafts a haunting, dreamlike tale set aboard a panzership, where a lone crew member grapples with the quiet tension between nature and the encroachment of civilization. As he prepares a mysterious island for human settlement, memories and subconscious images blur the line between duty and inner turmoil. Mattotti’s striking artwork—pencils, inks, and colors all his own—lends the story a deeply atmospheric, almost meditative weight, making this a standout in the series.
