Supercrooks Library Edition HC
A heist graphic novel where supervillains get together and pull the biggest job of their careers, in a country miles away from all the superheroes. Think Ocean’s Eleven with masks.
Why do supervillains always pull jobs in the cities with all the superheroes? The last place you’d want to rob a bank is Metropolis or Gotham, because you’re only going to get caught and tossed in prison.
But Europe doesn’t have any superheroes at all, and if you’re an American supervillain looking to make a few bucks there’s worse places than Spain to hang out for a few weeks and get a suntan while you pull a legendary job against one of the greatest criminal minds of all time, who’s retired to the Costa Del Sol and has his loot stored away in a secret location.
Supercrooks tells the story of Johnny Bolt and the team he’s put together to pull the ultimate heist and make them all richer than their wildest dreams.
