In this now-legendary graphic novel series that serves as the inspiration for the hit AMC
television series Jesse Custer was just a small-town preacher in Texas... until his
congregation was flattened by powers beyond his control and the Preacher became imbued with
abilities beyond anyone's understanding. Now possessed by Genesis-the unholy coupling of an
angel and demon-Jesse holds Word of God an ability to command anyone or anything with a mere
utterance. And he'll use this power to hold the Lord accountable for the people He has
forsaken. From the ashes of a small-town church to the bright lights of New York City to
the backwoods of Louisiana Jesse Custer cuts a righteous path across the soul of America in
his quest for the divine-an effort that will be met by every evil that Heaven and Earth can
assemble. Joined by his gun-toting girlfriend Tulip and the hard-drinking Irish vampire
Cassidy Jesse will stop at nothing to fulfill his quest to find God. The creative powerhouse
team of Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon bring readers on a violent and riotous journey across the
country in this award-winning Vertigo series beginning with Preacher Book One. Collects issues
#1-12.
