Subversively subtle yet completely over the top, Brat Pack is uncompromising, uncomfortable, and unforgettable. It’s also an essential for every graphic novel collection. Publishers Weekly says “Brat Pack completes the troika of immortal works dissecting the superhero genre, the other two being Dark Knight and Watchmen.”
Fierce and darkly comic, BRAT PACK has long been considered a subterranean classic that made the mainstream safe for totally twisted superhero satires. Veitch’s no-holds-barred dissection of the hoary old ‘kid sidekick’ phenomena is as harrowing as it is hilarious. BRATPACK is an edgy and unforgettable dance macabre that is a must for every fan of superheroes.
BRATPACK is a companion volume to Rick Veitch’s THE MAXIMORTAL and was nominated for “Best Graphic Album” in the Eisner Awards in 1995.
This black and white softcover edition includes Neil Gaiman’s introduction, as well as a new cover design, an essay about the creation of Brat Pack by Rick Veitch and extra art.
