Jenny Sparks: The Secret History of the Authority
Was the spirit of the 20th century really anarchist? InJenny Sparks: The Secret History of the Authorityit seems not only plausible but inevitable. The book spans our heroine's 100-year life, focusing on key elements in the development of the Authority metahuman team, and pointing out the mischief that she made along the way. True to the series' larger-than-life aesthetic, Sparks finds herself befriending a young Hitler, arranging for the destruction of a sentient Kansas City, and sticking it to the man every chance she gets. While not all of the details contained in the book will be clear to readers unfamiliar with the Authority or Stormwatch, it's still great fun and should inspire a few return trips to the 20th century.--Rob Lightner
