Read all three graphic novels based on New York Times best-selling author Joe Hill's short story 'The Cape,' collecting The Cape, The Cape: 1969, and The Cape: Fallen. Every little boy dreams about putting on a cape and soaring up, up, and away... but what if one day that dream were to come true? Eric was like every other eight-year-old boy, until a tragic accident changed his life forever. The Cape explores the dark side of power, as the adult Eric-a confused and broken man-takes to the skies... and sets out to exact a terrible vengeance on everyone who ever disappointed him. The Cape: 1969 goes back in time to the Vietnam War when Eric's father, Captain Chase, a medevac helicopter pilot for the U.S. Army, is shot down over enemy territory. He and his crew are in a fight for their lives as they play a deadly game of cat and mouse with the Vietcong… but they soon learn that machine guns and grenades aren't the only terrors hiding in the jungle. In The Cape: Fallen, uncover new folds in Hill's cautionary anti-superhero tale with a story that takes place between the scenes of the original series.
