Jeremy Brood is a science fiction graphic novel by Jan Strnad and Richard Corben. Corben’s rendering of the human form, which is one of the things he’s known for, is shockingly detailed in this book. Further, this volume includes an exclusive 5-page introduction exploring Corben’s working methods in developing characters, scenery, and a new artistic direction for the series, illuminated with a number of black and white illustrations – mostly line art, some with tones or modeling effects applied. This behind-the-scenes content helps prepare the reader for a stylistic change, which is more a hybrid of line art and modeling technique than his previous works (Den, Arabian Nights, Mutant World). His 1983 story “Roda and the Wolf”, reprinted in Werewolf (1984), shows similar style characteristics.

Limited Edition Hardcover with slipcase of Richard Corben & Jan Strnad’s “Jeremy” Brood 1: Relativity is signed on the front title page with a black & white illustration of Brood and is personally autographed by Jan Strnad & Richard Corben. The signed title page states that it is a special limited edition and is numbered out of 500.

Story/Spoilers
Jeremy Brood and his partner Charlene have arrived on the planet Eden. Their mission: to free the populace from the local god, Holobar. The journey took two hundred years, planetary time. They land to find that Jeremy is the center of a 200-year-old religion established by his predecessor.

Jeremy is hailed as the savior. He is married to a native Edenite and forced to consummate that marriage in the temple of Brood. When he later returns to his ship outside of town, he finds it damaged by primate explosives, planted by Scrounges, crude inhabitants of Eden’s rocky plains. His partner, Charlene, is dead. His mourning reverie is shattered by the sound of wings…
