Dmz Volume 1

Writer Brian Wood (DEMO, The Massive) and artist Riccardo Burchielli (John Doe, DIAL H) come together to tell their critically acclaimed story of desperation and hope among those trapped in the most unlikely battlefield of them all: New York City.

With the U.S. controlling everything to the east and the Free States surrounding from the west, the island of Manhattan has become the hotly contested borderland known as the DMZ. And that’s exactly where aspiring photojournalist Matty Roth has just landed. With an introduction by Brian Azzarello, DMZ BOOK ONE collects issues #1-12 of the critically acclaimed series.
