Romeo & Juliet meets Star Wars in this sexy, subversive fantasy and sci-fi space opera about star-crossed lovers from enemy worlds. An epic for mature readers, SAGA is the story of Hazel, a child born to star-crossed parents from opposite sides of a never-ending galactic war. Now, Hazel's fugitive family must risk everything to find a peaceful future in a harsh universe that values destruction over creation. The multiple award-winning, critically acclaimed masterpiece and one of the most iconic, bestselling comic book series of its time begins here in the first volume collecting issues #1-6. The SAGA series has sold over 7 million copies to date across all formats, has been translated into 20 languages, and has garnered multiple Eisner and Harvey Awards, plus a Hugo Award, British Fantasy Award, Goodreads Choice Award, Shuster Award, Inkwell Award, Ringo Award, and more. It has been featured in such mainstream media outlets as TIME, Entertainment Weekly, The Atlantic, NPR, and beyond, and has become a pop culture phenomenon. Select praise for SAGA: “The kind of comic that you get when truly talented superstar creators are given the freedom to produce their dream comic.” — Entertainment Weekly “An unwieldy, profane, and glorious ode to compassion and equality.” — The Atlantic "A little bit Romeo & Juliet and a lot Star Wars." —USA Today "Mischievous, vulgar and gloriously inventive." —TIME Magazine "May it run for 1,000 issues." —Rolling Stone Magazine
