Hlavní hrdina, romanticky založený a poněkud nespolehlivý vypravěč Měsíční stín, provází čtenáře obdobím svého dospívání. Pohledem starce vzpomíná na podivné okolnosti svého narození ve vesmírné zoo a na svou snahu přežít ve válkou poznamenaném vesmíru. Přelomový komiks s četnými přesahy do poezie a filozofie bývá označován jako první akvarelem namalovaný americký grafický román. V souborném vydání v kvalitní pevné vazbě je opatřen předmluvou od jeho scenáristy J. M. DeMatteise a bonusovou přílohou, jež obsahuje galerii obálek, poznámky tvůrčího týmu a ukázky z původního scénáře i námětu. Výtvarnou stránku komiksu v podobě překrásných akvarelových maleb obstaral Jon J Muth a kromě hlavního příběhu, nadčasové pohádky pro dospělé, obsahuje publikace také ilustrovanou beletristickou povídku Sbohem, Stíne, jež čtenářům přibližuje Stínův život po jeho bouřlivém mládí plném vesmírných cest a dobrodružství ve společnosti podivného tvora jménem Ira. Nedílnou součástí digitálně zrestaurované publikace jsou rovněž dechberoucí ilustrace Kenta Williamse a George Pratta. Užijte si nadčasový příběh na pomezí sci-fi a fantasy, jejž New York Daily News nazvaly magickou symfonickou básní ve slovech a sám její autor DeMatteis o něm prohlásil, že v něm spatřuje kosmické setkání Dickensova Davida Copperfielda a Hesseho Siddhárthy. Kultovní komiksové dílo, vycházející poprvé v češtině!
