Ivar, Timewalker #1

Valiant Entertainment launched this 2015 trade paperback collecting Ivar, Timewalker with a cover by Raúl Allén that opts for bold graphic design over action imagery — the title "Making History" dominates in striking blue typography against a clean white field, setting a tone that's confident and a little playful. Written by Fred Van Lente with interior art by Clayton Henry and colors by Brian Reber, this volume promises the kind of time-bending adventure the title character's name alone suggests. It's an inviting entry point into one of Valiant's more distinctive corners of its universe.
