Step into the primitive world of the future with this historic first edition copy of Blackmark by legendary comic creator Gil Kane! Published by Bantam Books in January 1971, this groundbreaking release is widely recognized as one of the very first modern graphic novels. The epic, full-length action adventure tells the story of a slave and gladiator fighting for the fate of a savage, post-apocalyptic future, told through an innovative blend of sequential illustrations and narrative text. ​This vintage paperback is in good condition, showing some minor wear consistent with its age, such as light cover rubbing, spine creasing, and natural tanning to the interior pages. It remains a clean, tight, and highly collectable copy of a comic book milestone.
