THE STUFF OF LEGEND #1
(W) Mike Raicht, Brian Smith (A) Charles Paul Wilson III
The year is 1944. While Allied soldiers storm a beach in far-off Normandy, in a child's bedroom in Brooklyn, a small group of toys loyal to their human master fight an unseen war to save him from every child's worst nightmare — The Boogeyman. Discover the series that Frank Quitely (All-Star Superman) says is "a real page-turner. Economical, effective storytelling, with both story and art complimenting each other perfectly, and hinting at something darker."
