| Albert
Einstein, Crime Fighter
I've
read many novels and a few comics with the mysterious Nikola
Tesla as some sort of superbeing, but never one with one
of the most obvious: Albert Einstein.
Except
for his appearance in the Superman novel Last Son of Krypton,
it seems odd that nobody has ever connected the father of
relativity with superheroics. Until now, of course.

From
Narwain:
The end is near for one of the world's greatest
scientific minds, but he isn't going without a fight. Albert's
accomplishments in the world of physics are astonishing
and varied, but the old professor knows he's got much more
to give. And so begins his race against the clock to complete
his greatest equation, a formula that will bend time and
allow him to live well past his allotted years. Albert's
obsession with controlling time will prevent his passing…but
at what cost?
"Albert" is the latest exciting
offering in Narwain's growing line of superhero titles.
Writer Luca Tiraboschi and artist Massimo Noè, well
known in Italy for their horror comic "Goccianera"
bring this tale of super science to life.
"Superheroes, what a passion! The pleasure
and the excitement coming from so many years of reading
and collecting comics were the inspiration for 'Albert,'"
said Tiraboschi, who earned acclaim as the author of the
thriller novel "L'Ospedale Delle Bambole" ("The
Dolls' Hospital").
"The story lets me map fascinating
physical-mathematical theories onto familiar comics concepts.
Mixing science and occult the book's hero will go to the
limit if reality and beyond," said Tiraboschi. "This
is my first foray into the superhero genre and I'm as excited
as I was reading those tales as a boy. "
"Albert" will be published as
four, 32 page, black and white issues, each with a retail
price of $2.99 US ($3.48 Canadian). Look for "Albert"
#1 in the February Diamond Previews catalog, available soon
at your local comics shop!
