Prepare for a post-apocalyptic fable like no other in Once Upon a Time at the End of the World Vol. 1. Written by the New York Times bestselling and Eisner Award-winning Jason Aaron (Thor, The Avengers, The Goddamned) and featuring the vibrant, cinematic art of Alexandre Tefenkgi (The Good Asian), this BOOM! Studios trade paperback kicks off an epic trilogy that spans a lifetime at the edge of existence.

This item is Brand New, making it a perfect pick for fans of Saga, The Last of Us, and unconventional, character-driven survival stories.

A Love Story for the End of Days

• The Story: Maceo and Mezzy are two survivors who couldn't be more different. Mezzy is a hardened, street-smart scavenger who knows how to survive the horrors of a ravaged planet. Maceo is a sheltered, eccentric "nerd" who has spent years isolated in a tower. When their worlds collide, they must embark on a decades-spanning journey across a wasteland filled with plastic tornadoes and frozen sludge.

• A Lifetime Trilogy: This volume is the first of three acts, each illustrated by a different creative team to represent a distinct era in the characters' lives—from their first meeting as children to their final days as old souls.

• Stunning Visual Contrast: Alexandre Tefenkgi’s art, paired with a dynamic and surprisingly colorful palette, brings a "pastel-apocalypse" aesthetic to the page that is both beautiful and disturbing.

• Rich World-Building: Jason Aaron crafts a deranged, whimsical, and brutal vision of Earth’s final years, focusing on the human connection that persists even when the world is literally falling apart.
