Stormwatch – The Road to the Authority Compendium Trade Paperback Book

Before the Authority make their big-screen debut, read the pivotal stories that paved the way to the ground-breaking team’s comic book debut!

The Authority is slated as a highly anticipated upcoming feature film from DC Studios, adapting the brutal super-team introduced by writer Warren Ellis and artist Bryan Hitch to live-action for the first time. Readers curious about the formation of the Authority can trace their origin in Stormwatch: The Road to Authority Compendium, a comprehensive collection of the influential stories that set the stage!  

In 1996, Warren Ellis took over as writer of Stormwatch, a major part of Jim Lee’s WildStorm Productions, alongside artist Tom Raney. Ellis reinvented the concept from more conventional superheroics to a take-no-prisoners strike team that quickly attracted attention throughout the industry, as readers questioned the way that superheroes are perceived.

Ellis redefined the team and introduced new members, including the electric Jenny Sparks, the city-symbiote Jack Hawksmoor, powerhouse Apollo, and brutal Midnighter—leading directly to the game-changing debut of The Authority!

This volume collects Stormwatch (Vol. 1) #37-50, Stormwatch Preview #1, and Stormwatch (Vol. 2) #1-11.
