Prodigy Library Edition - (The Prodigy) by Mark Millar (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

Imagine you were brilliant at everything. You're the world's fastest man, most ground-breaking entrepreneur, a prolific writer, adventurer, master of martial arts and expert on the occult. There is literally nothing you cannot do and you only need to spend ten minutes every day running your multi-billion-dollar business empire. So how do you spend your free time?

Doctor Edison Crane is the man Presidents and Prime Ministers call when there's a problem they can't handle, and his adventures here cover everything from the terrifying real reason the Hadron Collider was built, to the lost city of Shangri-La hidden in the Himalayas, to the alien slave colonies on Mars Edison's father was involved with on behalf of the American secret space program.

Collecting all three volumes of the Prodigy trilogy and featuring art by some of the greatest in modern comics.

For mature audiences.
