About the series
Warren Ellis and John Cassaday's Planetary is collected here in a pair of oversized, high-quality hardcovers from DC Comics (2004–2010), showcasing the entirety of their acclaimed 27-issue series. This visionary work follows a secret team of "archaeologists of the unknown" as they uncover the hidden, often bizarre, history of the 20th century's pop culture and superheroes. Ellis's dense, inventive plotting and Cassaday's cinematic, detailed art combine to create a sprawling, revisionist epic that redefines the genre. It remains essential reading for its ambitious, interconnected world-building and its profound influence on modern comic book storytelling.
