ADVANCE SOLICIT THE FIRST NEW CRIMINAL BOOK IN FIVE YEARS! With the Prime Video adaptation premiering soon, crime comic grandmasters ED BRUBAKER and SEAN PHILLIPS return to their most acclaimed series with a new standalone graphic novel: THE KNIVES. A sprawling CRIMINAL epic, THE KNIVES is the most ambitious tale BRUBAKER and **PHILLIPS **have ever tackled. Three dark journeys wind around each other over a decade, like sharks hunting for a kill. Cartoonist Jacob Kurtz goes to Hollywood in the era of peak TV to work on an adaptation of his comic strip, only to find himself caught up in the life of his aging aunt and the vultures circling her estate. Angie was raised at the Undertow, but now everything she loves has been taken from her. She's on the streets with vengeance on her mind, her eyes set on the city's kingpin. And finally, Tracy Lawless is home from the special forces, finally a civilian again, but he's in bad shape and this city has always brought out the worst in him. These three tales collide in THE KNIVES, a breathtaking noir story about greed, ambition, heartbreak, and blood ties. A must-have for all BRUBAKER and PHILLIPS fans!

Important Note on Condition

**CONDITION POLICY**

New release comics are received, carefully bagged and boarded, and shipped directly to you. We handle every book with care and do our best to send you copies in the best shape possible.

That said, **we cannot guarantee Mint (9.8) condition on any book.** Printing and bindery imperfections are part of the industry - not every copy off the press qualifies as a 9.8, and we have no way to guarantee which copy you'll receive.

Our new releases are generally **Near Mint (NM 9.4 or better)** unless otherwise noted. Common allowable defects at NM include:

- Minor spine dings or stress marks
- Slight cover wear from handling or shelving
- Printing artifacts (color rubs, paper waviness from the press)
- Small bindery offsets, especially on cardstock covers

If you have specific condition requirements, we're happy to answer questions before you order - just reach out.

**Highly discounted or clearance items are sold as-is.** Condition is not guaranteed on sale items.

Review our Refund Policy for our full return guidelines.
