Frank Miller's epic retelling of history's supreme moment of battlefield valor is a glorious hardcover volume--each oversize page encompasses what was originally a double-page spread, greatly enhancing the graphic and narrative power of this immortal tale of heroic sacrifice. Story and art by living comics legend Frank Miller, painted by Lynn Varley.

"I've got seventy-two hours to live, Chandler. I want you to find my murderer!"

In the mid-1970s, legendary Marvel Comics innovator Jim Steranko tackled the most demanding challenge of his career: creating an entirely new medium--the visual novel. Unlike everything that came before it, the result seamlessly unified the literary and artistic forms into an original and powerful narrative approach to storytelling that was decades ahead of its time. Not simply an homage to Hammett, Cain, and Chandler, Red Tide is a noir masterpiece riddled with dark passions, double crosses, and deadly violence in the hard-boiled cinematic tradition of The Maltese Falcon, Chinatown, and Pulp Fiction.

Not coincidentally, such filmmakers as Steven Spielberg, George Lucas, and Francis Ford Coppola chose Steranko as a collaborator on several of their most popular films. Acclaimed internationally, Steranko's admirers have included Federico Fellini, Alain Resnais, and Orson Welles. Dark Horse is proud to present his landmark work, remastered with state-of-the-art color and incorporating new text and imagery created especially for this edition.

Steranko is an international award-winning artist, author, designer, and publisher who has influenced generations of creative followers and helped shape the identity of American popular culture.
