Beautiful World

The final volume of the critically acclaimed series written by Joshua Dysart that reinvented the classic DC war hero. In the hands of the men who created his fractured psyche, the Unknown Soldier is ready to assume his role as a super soldier in service of a shadowy government agency. There’s just one condition: He must bring back CIA agent in exile Jack Lee Howl. This collection also includes the story “Kalashnikov,” tracing the history of the AK-47 from Cold War Soviet Union to an unknown soldier deep in the African bush, illustrated by SWAMP THING artist Rick Veitch.

I write comic books, graphic novels and novels. I'm a three time Eisner nominee, two time Glyph award winner, New York Times bestseller, a recipient of The Dick Giordano Humanitarian of the Year award, and have been in competition twice at Angoulême. I've worked on Hellboy, Swamp Thing, & Conan the Barbarian; I co-wrote a graphic novel with Neil Young; I helped restart Valiant Entertainment; and I've done on-the-ground research in Uganda (2007), Iraq (2014), & South Sudan (2016), writting graphic novels about war and famine in those regions. Goodnight Paradise came out in 2018 with long time co-creator Alberto Ponticelli and is a murder mystery set in the houseless population of Venice Beach, Ca. My first novel (novella - it's only 100 pages) has dropped. It combines my love of slasher horror, Agatha Christie fair-play mysteries, construction sites, and bugs. It's called BROOD X. Buy it wherever trash genre books are sold!
