Hello Gordon,

I just read and posted a response to your other post before reading this one. So again, welcome to the board!

Thanks for looking for my work and asking about it (my thanks to RON and Nick for the kind info).

They pretty much answered it. I think the trades are probably the easiest way to read the early work.
I hope you will give it a try. My favorites are probably the new 1-9 series (to be collectd in hardcover in two weeks called "METAMORPHOSIS") and "SKIN DEEP". But it may help to read "Circle of Blood", "Dreams", and "Masks of the Noh" trades first. The story and characters grow in these books just as you can see my struggle and evolution as a creator. I make a conscious effort to make each issue better than the last. I think you can see the growth and experimentaion on the pages and I think that is why I like the newer stuff best. It feels more "evolved". But Circle of Blood gives the complete origin and foundation for the character and the world in Kabuki. And there are many readers who like the story in this trade the best.

Let us know what you think of the books, and I'm sure people here can help you with any questions.

Warmest regards,

David Mack
