Stirling Roc, 2005 I couldn't put it down! + Great read on it's own. Beware of the sequels.... This is a great read that portrays a very dark side to Stirling's Island series.

The first was that it was edited by the multitalented Chris Ware and the second was a story by Gilbert Hernandez about a gigantically breasted woman. The later will get my attention every time.
