Hawkeye

Eisner Award-Winner: Matt Fraction & David Aja, Best Single Issue
Eisner Award-Winner: David Aja, Best Penciller
Eisner Award-Winner: David Aja, Best Cover Artist

The Eisner Award-winning modern classic, presented in a newly designed book format edition with a brand-new introduction by author Matt Fraction.

Matt Fraction (Batman, Invincible Iron Man) and David Aja (The Immortal Iron Fist, The Seeds) deliver a stylish, cinematic, and profoundly human take on Marvel’s most unlikely Avenger — one that inspired countless creators, won armfuls of awards, and laid the groundwork for the hit Disney+ series.

Clint Barton, ordinary guy in a world of gods and super-soldiers, just wants to do right — and maybe grill a decent rooftop BBQ. Alongside Kate Bishop, his equally sharp-eyed protégé, he takes aim at digital digital doomsday, Russian mobsters in tracksuits, and the everyday chaos of life in New York. With Aja’s minimalist brilliance and Fraction’s razor-sharp voice, these stories turned the small details — neighbors, stray dogs, broken tape decks — into unforgettable legend.

And then there’s Pizza Dog. Yes, he gets his own Eisner-winning story.
