"Albert" brings super-physics and otherworldly sciences to the superhero genre

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!
