In 2005 Joss Whedon and Brett Matthews wrote a 3-issue series of comic books entitled Serenity: Those Left Behind. A unique aspect of the publication is that each issue of this series was printed with three different covers, one for each member of the Serenity crew. Kids Need to Read Charity Auctions presents a very special edition – Issue #1 featuring Captain Mal Reynolds on the cover and signed by actor Nathan Fillion. A perfect combination!
The limited-edition series was published by Dark Horse Comics, illustrated by Brazilian artist Will Conrad, and colored by Laura Martin. The Mal cover is illustrated by award-winning comic book artist John Cassaday. The comic is full color and 32 pages in length.
The story is set between the end of Joss Whedon’s series Firefly and the beginning of the subsequent feature film Serenity. The story serves as a bridge between the two, and gives more details about Joss’s rough and tumble ‘verse.
