The Authority

The Authority (2000–2003) from Planeta DeAgostini collects the full 34-issue run of the seminal WildStorm series. This team of super-powered operatives, led by Jenny Sparks, takes a radical, no-holds-barred approach to global threats, fundamentally redefining the superhero genre with its dark, politically charged storytelling. The series is most closely associated with the writing of Warren Ellis and Mark Millar, and the explosive art of Bryan Hitch, Frank Quitely, and others, whose work here set a new standard for epic, cinematic comic book action. Its unflinching exploration of power and consequence made it a landmark title of the early 2000s, influencing countless stories that followed.
