About the series
The Cape: Legacy Edition (2011, IDW) collects the original 2010 The Cape one-shot by Joe Hill and artist Zach Howard, re-presenting a grim, modern fairy tale of a son who returns home to his family after a mysterious absence—only to find a strange, blood-red cape that grants him terrifying powers. This oversized hardcover edition, featuring a new cover and bonus material, anchors the story that launched IDW's line of Joe Hill adaptations. It matters as the definitive presentation of a key entry in Hill's shared universe of supernatural horror, establishing the brutal, emotionally charged tone that would define the series.
