This first issue brings 5 stories by the author that were adapted by renowned artists such as Michael Zulli, who between 1990 and 1991 was responsible for the so-called Ninja Turtles Soul Trilogy. He created the number editions # 31 Soul's Winter, # 35 Soul's Withering and # 36 Soul's End.

The Gaiman Library Volume 1, is an unprecedented publication that Intrínseca created for the Brazilian public with the following stories by the author:

  • In Creatures of the Night
  • divine mysteries

Gaiman has already immersed himself in almost all media, as his first works were in the field of journalism when he wrote the biography of the musical group Duran Duran. Then wrote Don't Panic: The Official Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy Companion (The Official Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy). In addition to these books, the author also wrote many other books that ended up becoming series like Good Omens and the aforementioned American Gods.

But back to the luxury edition of Intrínseca, it is worth noting how special the publisher's material is. The editing work with the graphic design of Antonio Rhoden is spectacular. Each story is opened with a written statement, the paper is excellent, with a weight that does not make it transparent, that is, when the person can see everything that is on the other page, making it difficult to read.

It is also worth highlighting all the letters, which are easy to understand, without the use of letter and background color resources, which often force you to try to decipher what is written there.

A great read!
