Let your imagination take flight with the first volume of this groundbreaking graphic novel fantasy anthology series, featuring short stories from some of today’s most legendary artists, including the series editor, Amulet creator Kazu Kibuishi!
 
“Most of the stories in this gorgeous color anthology are about flying, but the title also refers to its contributors starting to take wing. . . . As Scott McCloud notes in his afterword, they’re the future of comics.”—Publishers Weekly
 
From the maiden voyage of a home-built plane to the adventures of a young courier and his flying whale, this first volume of Flight brought the titular theme and its many incarnations to life and collected the voices of brilliant illustrators and animators before they launched to fame.
