The Breathtaker Collection (Graphic Novel)

The long-awaited remastered edition of the acclaimed graphic novel - including an introduction by Neil Gaiman (The Sandman, American Gods, Good Omens). In Breathtaker, all love withers and dies... but for Chase Darrow, it is literally the kiss of death!

Chase Darrow is a beautiful weapon. The US government gave her a sexual power that makes her utterly alluring - the perfect weapon for espionage. Yet to kiss a man leaves his lifeforce drained and means that no one can love her without paying the ultimate price. But Chase is now on the run from The Man - another government creation and the first superhero. All machismo, he is sent to bring Chase back, but which weapon will prove the most powerful - love or death?
