Young GODS & Friends Collected Edition
Available Now from
Fantagraphics Books
Windsor-Smith Studio is pleased to announce that Young GODS & Friends, the first of the BARRY WINDSOR-SMITH: STORYTELLER Collected Editions, is available now from Fantagraphics Books. This book presents all of the Young GODS material that appeared in issues 1-9 of BWS: STORYTELLER, plus the Young GODS pages completed for the never-published issues #10 & 11, and many pages of new story and editorial content created specially for this edition.
BWS is aware that the loyal readers who supported STORYTELLER would like to see a resolution, in the collected edition, of the story line begun in the first 9 issues, but, unfortunately, it is not possible. To artificially accelerate a story intended to play out in the pages of the magazine over many years to a contrived conclusion would contradict everything BWS was striving to achieve in STORYTELLER, his most evolved creative work to date. Some of the new story material in the collection will address the untimely demise of the series, but there will not be an expedient wrap-up of the story lines. We hope that readers will understand that, given the turn of events that led to BWS' having to suspend publication of STORYTELLER in 1997, the material to be presented in the Young GODS & Friends collection is the most appropriate denouement that can be achieved under the circumstances.
This collected edition of Young GODS & Friends will be followed by collections of The Freebooters and The Paradoxman.
