Titans of Finance

What goes up must come down. Its a natural law that the New Economy just learned all over again. Recent times have been fantastically dramatic in the cloistered world of American business: Narratives full of larger-than-life characters, outsized egos, astonishing hubris, and lots and lots of money. Its action-packed. It makes good comics. Thats the idea behind Titans of Finance, a new and groundbreaking merger of reality - straight from the business pages - and comix. Youve never seen anything like it: True tales from the world of big money, wittily translated through Americas most populist medium. Meet Ron Perelman, the man who made millions while presiding over the Mighty Marvel Comics train wreck. Thrill to the antics of Chainsaw Al Dunlap, Mike The V-Man Vranos, and Jaybird Goldinger - and many more of Wall Streets most well-known Icaruses. These arent just instructive episodes about the current climate. Theyre timeless tales, like the Bible or Cats. Never mind Spawn and Spider-man. These are our superheroes now.These tales hit the mark, says Harvey Pekar, and are a brilliant use of the medium, according to TheStreet.coms James J. Cramer. Best of all, its all true! Titans of Finance is entirely based on press accounts. The results are mind-blowing. Over the past five years, in fact, Titans has crushed the benchmark S&P 500. Youve never seen anything like it - this is one acquisition you wont regret. Titans of Finance features the crisp art of Josh Neufeld (A.D.: New Orleans After the Deluge), and the incisive scripts of the mysterious R. Walker.
