About this ebook

Described by Mark Millar as the best character he’s ever created, Edison Crane is Tony Stark, Indiana Jones, Sherlock Holmes and James Bond all rolled into one.

Imagine you were brilliant at everything. You’re the world’s fastest man, most ground-breaking entrepreneur, a prolific writer, adventurer, master of martial arts and expert on the occult. There is literally nothing you cannot do and you only need to spend ten minutes every day running your multi-billion-dollar business empire. So how do you spend your free time?

Doctor Edison Crane is the man Presidents and Prime Ministers call when there’s a problem they can’t handle, and his adventures here cover everything from the terrifying real reason the Hadron Collider was built, to the lost city of Shangri-La hidden in the Himalayas, to the alien slave colonies on Mars Edison’s father was involved with on behalf of the American secret space program.

Collecting all three volumes of the Prodigy trilogy and featuring art by some of the greatest in modern comics.

For mature audiences.

About the author

Mark Millar is a NEW YORK TIMES best-selling author, Hollywood producer, and now president of his own division at Netflix after selling his publishing company to the world’s biggest streamer in 2017. He also signed on to exclusively create new comics, TV series, and movies in-house as a senior executive.

Adaptations of JUPITER’S LEGACY, SUPERCROOKS (in the form of a Japanese anime), and AMERICAN JESUS (adapted as THE CHOSEN ONE) have already been released. THE MAGIC ORDER, REBORN, SHARKEY THE BOUNTY HUNTER, PRODIGY, KING OF SPIES, EMPRESS, MPH, HUCK, and a live-action SUPERCROOKS are being put together now.

Previously, Mark worked at Marvel Comics, where he created THE ULTIMATES, which was selected by TIME magazine as the comic book of the decade and described by screenwriter Zak Penn as his major inspiration for the movie THE AVENGERS. Millar also created WOLVERINE: OLD MAN LOGAN and Marvel’s CIVIL WAR. CIVIL WAR was the basis of the third Captain America movie, and OLD MAN LOGAN was the inspiration for 20th Century Fox’s LOGAN.

CIVIL WAR remains Marvel’s biggest-selling graphic novel of all time, and his seminal SUPERMAN: RED SON is the highest-selling Superman graphic novel in history. In 2020, RED SON was also released as an animated feature.

Mark has been an executive producer on all adaptations of his books and worked as a creative consultant to 20th Century Fox on their Marvel slate of movies.
