The Monolith

The Monolith

In The Monolith , we are introduced to Alice Cohen, a down-and-out ex-junkie who inherits a house in Brooklyn from her deceased grandmother. Alice discovers her diary and begins to read the tale of a lost love and revenge that begins in the factories of New York during the depression and shows the creation of a monster bent on revenge for the slaying of a good honest man. - Originally published by DC comics, but collected here for the first time, The Monolith features an introduction by the legendary Jim Steranko and the amazing art of Phil Winslade. This book is a very special one for Justin and I because it was one of our first creator-shared books we have done for DC COMICS and after all these years, we finally got the rights reverted back to us and were able to put this small collection together in a format that we felt showcased the spectacular artwork. This books idea came from when I was taking private painting classes in Brooklyn and the teacher lived in a house with two sub-basements. The second basement has a bricked up tunnel that ran under the east river and this got my imagination going to what may be in that tunnel since we found out it was used during prohibition to move booze from Brooklyn to Manhatten. This spark of an idea created what we consider one of our best projects to date. We are hoping sales will get to a point that we can collect the second volume of the series. Thanks. JIMMY PALMIOTTI Writer, Editor and Creator.
