Volume 1 (X-tra Sized Special 1, 3-issue mini; w Keith Giffen & J. M. DeMatteis; a Joe Abraham). [From Boom Studies: Collecting the sold-out X-Tra Sized Special one-shot - which was such a success that it lead to a three issue mini-series - this book is packed with extras. In print for the first time will be the popular web comic promotion that Keith Giffen plotted and penciled, and which DeMatteis scripted along with Giffen's original character designs and Joe Abraham's concept sketches. Also in print for the first time is a Keith Giffen plot, which can now be compared side-by-side with DeMatteis' final script!]
