Description

The Rook is a time-traveling comic book hero created by Bill DuBay and Budd Lewis for Warren Magazines. First appearing in March 1977, The Rook was published in the pages of Eerie, Vampirella, & Warren Presents. In the 1980s, The Rook gained his own book, The Rook Magazine. In 2014 the original The Rook comics were introduced to a new generation in Eerie Archives 17, and then all-new material written by Steven Grant and illustrated by Paul Gulacy appeared in Dark Horse Presents and a Dark Horse comic book series in 2015. This book collects those all-new stories!

Author Biography

Since 2005, Grant has written several works for IDW Publishing including original comics featuring the characters from the television show CSI. He wrote a one-shot featuring an updated version of his character Whisper and created a crime series, 2 Guns, about undercover cops, for Boom! Studios. At Avatar Press, he produced two creator-owned mini-series, Mortal Souls and My Flesh Is Cool, as well as adapting Frank Miller's original Robocop screenplays to comics which deviated considerably from the filmed versions.
