Dive into a high-octane homage to classic espionage with Too Dead to Die: A Simon Cross Thriller. Created by the powerhouse team of writer Marc Guggenheim (Arrow, Star Wars) and legendary artist Howard Chaykin (American Flagg!, The Shadow), this original graphic novel from Image Comics brings the grit of 1980s super-spies into the complex landscape of the modern world.
This copy is Brand New, making it a perfect addition for fans of James Bond, retro action cinema, and sophisticated "prestige" graphic novels.
A Relic of the Cold War in a Digital Age
In the 1980s, Simon Cross was America’s premier super-spy—a man of action, gadgets, and international intrigue. Decades later, the world has moved on, but his past has not.
-
The "Final" Adventure: When a threat emerges involving a long-lost daughter and a technology that could change the planet, Simon is forced out of retirement for one last mission.
-
Meta-Fiction Narrative: The book cleverly presents itself as the "return" of a classic character, complete with a fictional comic book history that adds layers of depth to the world-building.
-
Chaykin’s Signature Style: Howard Chaykin’s art is as bold and innovative as ever, utilizing dynamic page layouts and a pulp aesthetic that perfectly captures the "tough guy" energy of the protagonist.
-
Thoughtful Subversion: Beyond the explosions, Guggenheim’s script explores the relevance of a two-fisted hero in a world that has outgrown traditional spy tropes.
