About The Book

"Precious Metal is a masterful piece of comics storytelling. It's one of my favorite comics of the last 10 years. I enjoyed it enormously as I was reading it, but have found myself thinking about it every day since.” —Brian Michael Bendis

An unforgettable companion to the award-winning dystopian, coming-of-age journey, Little Bird.

Thirty-five years before the events of LITTLE BIRD, VOL. 1: THE FIGHT FOR ELDER'S HOPE, disillusioned mod-tracker Max Weaver's routine hunt for a modified child takes a grisly and unexpected turn. Now, saddled with an unpredictable mod who may be the key to unlocking his missing memories, Max will soon find that he isn’t the only one interested in the child’s unique abilities - and if he wants to know more, it'll cost him everything. In fact, the future may well depend on it.

Eisner Award-winning creative team DARCY VAN POELGEEST and IAN BERTRAM reunite for their gripping return to the dystopian American Empire.
