The richly imagined world of MONSTRESS is an alternate 1900s Asia, with an art deco-infused steampunk aesthetic that's brimming with arcane dangers. Within it, a teenage girl struggles to overcome the trauma of war, a task that's made all the more difficult by her mysterious symbiotic link to an eldritch monster of tremendous power-a connection that will transform them both and place them in the crosshairs of both human and otherworldly powers.
A perfect entry-point for new readers, MONSTRESS COMPENDIUM ONE collects the first eight volumes of the New York Times-bestselling series in one massive compendium from creator/writer MARJORIE LIU (who made history as the first woman to win an Eisner Award for Best Writer) and creator/artist SANA TAKEDA.
