By Lew Stringer

Long before WATCHMEN, DARK KNIGHT and the hard-bitten, grim and gritty heroes of latterday, BRICKMAN put the stupor into "super", the dim into "grim" and those little chips of cement into "gritty." Bursting out of the Brickcave with Brickarang in one hand and his sidekick, Trowel, in the, um, other hand, Brickman led the British Invasion... down a blind alley!

Features a new story by Lew and additional art by Alan Davis, Dave Gibbons, Kevin O'Neill, Charlie Adlard, Mike Collins, Ian Churchill and more!

"If your idea of great humor is groaner puns, villains named The Poker, The Diddler and Gnatwoman, this is the book for you."
— Steven Grant, Comic Book Resources

"The 'eager to see the next page' kind of fun."
— Mike Keeney, Comics Buyers Guide

"A fine compendium of knee slappers, guffaws and belly laughs."
— Alan Moore, from his introduction

"Don't blame Lew. His market research team advised him to create a hero who was hard, edgy and full of grit!"
— Alan Davis
