Everything begins with a missing child.
Nine-year-old Mixx is taken in the dead of night and brought to the Hellzarr Institute a fortress-asylum run by the brilliant and ruthless Dr. Yorgo. What happens inside those walls defies explanation. And the only ones who can stop it are Czarface.
Czarface: Stress Fracture is the complete five-issue arc that introduced the world to a new era of hip-hop comics storytelling. Written by Eso (Seamus Ryan) with art by Felipe Flores and a backup series by the legendary Alexis Ziritt, this is a comic that earns every page. The rescue mission Czarface undertakes is anything but straightforward Yorgo is armed in a custom Czar suit, his Hellzarr Guards are everywhere, and lurking deeper inside the institute is a prisoner known only as the Stress Eater, a creature that feeds on fear and has his own designs for Mixx. What starts as an infiltration becomes a running battle of cloak tech, eye-beams, and close-quarters mayhem that doesn't let up until the final page.
This collected edition also marks the comics debut of Frankie Pulitzer, one of the breakout characters of the entire series -- a first appearance that readers will be talking about for years.
Czarface: Stress Fracture is hip-hop mythology rendered in ink and panels. Relentless, cinematic, and unlike anything else on the shelf.
