(October 7, 2024) From Frank Miller Presents and Abrams ComicArts comes Frank Miller’s Pandora (Book 1), a dark, modern-day fairy tale about a teenage girl searching for a perfect world. Created by Frank Miller, the book is illustrated by Emma Kubert (Inkblot), co-written by Anthony Maranville and Chris Silvestri (Star Trek: Discovery), and features bonus material including endpapers and concept art by Emma Kubert; a behind-the-scenes look at the process of making Frank Miller’s Pandora; and six variant covers by Frank Miller, Andy Kubert, and Theresa Kubert.
Annabeth is an endlessly curious fifteen-year-old girl. Unpopular at school, unhappy at home, and struggling to feel like she belongs, everything changes for her when she stumbles across a flower-shaped relic with the power to warp reality. Determined to change her dissatisfying everyday life, Annabeth uses her newfound powers to transform the world around her — and as she does, she sows the seeds of impending chaos in her wake.
Abrams ComicArts will publish Frank Miller’s Pandora (Book 1) in bookstores on October 8, 2024 and in comic shops on October 9, 2024.
