1st printing. Collects Children's Crusade (1993 DC/Vertigo), plus new material. Written by Neil Gaiman. Art by Peter Gross. Cover by Mark Buckingham. The two-issue miniseries THE CHILDREN'S CRUSADE is collected-and with them, a new chapter that completes the tale as Neil Gaiman originally envisioned it. When several children go missing in a small English town, the Dead Boy Detectives are on the case. A series of twists takes them to Free Country, a place that dates back a millennium, where children never grow old and are free from the abuse and tyranny of adults. But Free Country is failing, and what it needs is the strength of five innately powerful children-including the young sorcerer Timothy Hunter-to restore their uncanny world to what it once was. Softcover, 208 pages, full color. Cover price $19.99.
