Three time Eisner award winner Brian Michael Bendis (Ultimate Spider-man, Daredevil, Powers, Alias, Fortune and Glory) didn't just appear out of thin air, you know! He worked his tuchas off on all aspects of the medium before totally losing his hair in mainstream comics.

Compiled in this exclusive collection are dozens of short stories, handpicked by the author, ranging from the trademark 'Fortune and Glory' style autobiographical anecdotes, to some of the darkest crime noir stories he has yet to tell.

Also included is a smattering of his favorite short work collaborations with Warren Ellis, Mike Avon Oeming, and many others. Plus a bonus portfolio of illustrations and essays that have rarely been seen before.

A fun, must have collection of very hard to find material by one of the most consistently excellent creators in modern comics.
