Kick-Ass: The Dave Lizewski Years, Book One

by Mark Millar, John Romita Jr. (Artist)

Overview

This month marks TEN YEARS OF KICK-ASS — the greatest superhero comic of all time. It's been a decade since teen comic-book nerd Dave Lizewski donned his homemade Kick-Ass costume and took to the streets of NYC to fight the city's hardest criminals. This New York Times bestseller became a worldwide phenomenon overnight, spending three months at the top spot on the Diamond Direct Market chart and spawning the Kick-Ass movie that opened at No.1 in the box office! To celebrate the launch of the NEW Kick-Ass series, all four volumes of KICK-ASS: THE DAVE LIZEWSKI YEARS are being released through Image Comics. Relive what happens when Dave Lizewski asks himself "How come nobody's ever become a superhero before?" and makes his teenage superhero daydreams an ass-kicking reality. Superstar creators MARK MILLAR and JOHN ROMITA JR present this true 21st century classic. Collects Kick-Ass issues 1-8.

About the Author

Multi award-winning writer Mark Millar is the writer of JUPITER'S LEGACY from Image Comics, which he co-created with artist Frank Quitely. Also at Image, his WANTED comic series was the industry's biggest-selling creator-owned book of the last ten years until he smashed his own record with KICK-ASS, each issue selling more than Spider-Man and X-Men from issue one with an unprecedented five printings every issue. Both properties were sold as movies before the first issue hit the stands and everything Millar has ever created is in various stages of theatrical development. Wanted starred Angelina Jolie and James McAvoy. Kick-Ass stars actor Nicolas Cage.

In addition to WANTED and KICK-ASS, Millar has revamped the X-Men, launched a number one Spider-Man title, brought Captain America into the 21st Century and made Superman a communist.
