Book Description

December 1, 1999
An urban myth, a voodoo incarnation, a mass hallucination, or the Angel of Doom? All of them a manifestation of pre-millennial anxiety. The Victorian seems to have become all things to all people, but whatever he is, he's the catalyst who will bring the stories of many fractured lives crashing together.

As we enter a new millennium, why should we look back a hundred years to hear from a superhero created by a secret society from the Victorian era? Because this character holds the key to the "Fin de Siecle" and possesses masterful insight for understanding the new age.

The Victorian - Act I : Self Realization, is a compilation of the first act of the cult status comic series, The Victorian. Each of the seven books in this series features dynamic, painted covers by comic legends like Jim Steranko, Doug Beekman, Tim Bradstreet, and Bernie Wrightson. As a bonus, this book also contains The Victorian Sourcebook featuring a painted front cover by Tim Bradsteet as well as a painted back cover by Rick Berry. The sourcebook helps provide further insights and facinating revelations about The Victorian.


Editorial Reviews

Review

It is immensely readable if not easily explainable. It's also intelligent without being pretentious. --Beth Hannan Rimmels, ComicSutra.com

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome, January 3, 2012
This review is from: The Victorian - Act I: Self Realization (Paperback)
I thought this was great, I read it when it came out in 1999 or whenever, and the only reason I stumbled across the previous review (and decided to respond to it) now was because I wanted to find OTHER STUFF from the same creator. Very original, I do recall a lot of dialog, but it is suspenseful and I was grabbed by it from the word go.

1.0 out of 5 stars Fog bound murkiness, May 3, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Victorian - Act I: Self Realization (Paperback)
I found this production disjointed, murky and difficult to follow, its worst failing for me however was that it was simply dull.

Long pieces of dialog that went nowhere and explained nothing and did nothing to move the story (what little there was of a story) forward.

I felt little better informed about what was going at the end of this collection of the former series than I was at the start.

I hope things are made more clear in the other collections, but frankly I am not interested enough to want to find out if that is the case.
