Smax Collected Edition #[nn]

Nov 2004 · DC · 19.95 USD; 30.95 CAD
“1: Isn't it Good to Be Lost in the Wood...”

In "1: Isn't it Good to Be Lost in the Wood...", detective Jeff Smax—last seen navigating the surreal streets of Top 10—takes a reluctant trip back to his home dimension, dragging his partner Toybox along for the ride. Written by Alan Moore and illustrated by Zander Cannon, with colors by Ben Dimagmaliw and letters by Todd Klein, this collected edition captures a surreal journey where fairy tales aren't just stories, but the very fabric of a world Smax has long tried to forget. The cover, by Zander Cannon, hints at the dreamlike oddity within, as Toybox confronts a reality far stranger than any alien metahuman barbarian she might have expected.

Jeff Smax, a detective with the Top 10 precinct, is reluctantly paying a visit to his home world in a parallel dimension, and he's asked his partner, Toybox, to tag along. She's shocked to discover that her blue-skinned partner isn't from an alien world full of metahuman barbarians like him, but from a world that's every magical storybook come to life. Smax seems more than a little embarrassed about his heritage, but that's nowhere nearly as embarrassing as Toybox's experience when he finally gets around to introducing her to his family.
