Publisher Marketing : Read all three graphic novels based on New York Times best-selling author Joe Hill's short story "The Cape," collecting The Cape , The Cape: 1969 , and The Cape: Fallen . Every little boy dreams about putting on a cape and soaring up, up, and away...but what if one day that dream were to come true? Eric was like every other eight-year-old boy, until a tragic accident changed his life forever. The Cape explores the dark side of power, as the adult Eric--a confused and broken man--takes to the skies...and sets out to exact a terrible vengeance on everyone who ever disappointed him. The Cape: 1969 goes back in time to the Vietnam War when Eric's father, Captain Chase, a medevac helicopter pilot for the U.S. Army, is shot down over enemy territory. He and his crew are in a fight for their lives as they play a deadly game of cat and mouse with the Vietcong...but they soon learn that machine guns and grenades aren't the only terrors hiding in the jungle. In The Cape: Fallen , uncover new folds in Hill's cautionary anti-superhero tale with a story that takes place between the scenes of the original series. This critically acclaimed, Eisner Award-nominated story--written by Jason Ciaramella based on the short story by New York Times best-selling author Joe Hill , with art by Zach Howard and Nelson Dániel --smashes the classic superhero myth and wraps the bloody wreckage in a bright blue shroud: The Cape .
