DESCRIPTION

A LESS THAN HEROES ADVENTURE TALE!

Experience writer/artist David Yurkovich's graphic novel, THE S.H.o.P (Super Heroes of Philadelphia) as you've never seen it before — in full full digital color.

This 2-volume alternative super-hero series chronicles the adventures of the Philadelphia-based quartet featured in Top Shelf's LESS THAN HEROES collection. Long out of print, THE S.H.o.P. is an examination of the super-hero genre as told from the point of view of the Cosmopolitan, a one-time crime fighter and founding member of THRESHOLD (THE S.H.o.P.'s former signature name).

Now blind, the Cosmopolitan lives in the wreckage of his team's former headquarters and recalls the events that
lead to the fall of THRESHOLD and the formation of THE S.H.o.P. In the process he must face his own failings and, perhaps, compromise his own sense of morality for the good of others.

Critics have praised THE S.H.o.P., describing it as "darkly cynical." Don't miss this uniquely disquieting story. It may likely change the way you think about super-hero comics.
