(164 pages, full colour, written in German)
In “Legacy Of The Beast – Night City”, which is part 2 of the “Legacy Of The Beast” story, we travel back in time to a post apocalyptic version of London’s East End in the year 1981. The shards of the beast have rained upon earth and all those who got touched by them were tainted by its canker… This time Eddie teams up with “The Alchemist”, who turns out to be the brother of “The Clairvoyant”, a woman named “Charlotte”, who usually works as a dominatrix on Acacia Avenue and a gang of street women that call themselves “Lola and the Banshees”. You’ll also meet the two street gangs “The Immortal Skulls” and “The Savage Reapers”, as well as Hadden Thomas Junior, who originally used to be a murderer in the vein of Jack The Ripper, but was transformed into the main big red villain, because he got infected by the biggest piece of the shards. Unlike the original version (which was released from 2019 to 2021, also via Heavy Metal Comics), the German hardcover edition of “Legacy Of The Beast – Night City” this time comes with two variant covers (limited to 666 copies each). But instead of using one of the covers from the five issues from this storyline you can choose between the artwork of the first two IRON MAIDEN albums “Iron Maiden” and “Killers”. Compared to the first German hardcover edition “Legacy Of The Beast – Night City” offers 36 additional pages since it now finally also features the front covers of all ten original issues (first and second series), including all variant covers. So the lacking of that aspect in the first hardcover edition has finally been corrected with this one. Highly recommended to all German speaking readers or IRON MAIDEN die hard fans in general.
