On November 7, DC Comics will publish HEROES, a hardcover graphic novel collection based on the hit television series. It will feature covers by comic book superstars Alex Ross and Jim Lee and an introduction by “Heroes” star Masi Oka (Hiro).

The stories, which mark the first printed graphic novel adaptation of the show, were originally created for the “Heroes” website at NBC.com (www.NBC.com/Heroes) where new chapters continue to be exclusively available.

The collection spotlights the fluid artwork of comic book artist Tim Sale (BATMAN: THE LONG HALLOWEEN), whose work was featured prominently during the first season of the series through the visuals created by a drug-addled painter with apocalyptic visions of the future. In addition, the hardcover collects the work of an all-star cast of television and comic book creators, including Michael Turner, Phil Jimenez, Koi Turnbull, Marcus To and more

The 240 page book will be published under DC’s WildStorm imprint. It is developed through a licensing agreement with Universal Studios Consumer Products Group.

The HEROES graphic novel is scheduled to arrive in stores this November priced at $29.99.

“Heroes” returns to NBC for its second season on Monday, Sept. 24, 2007, at 9:00 p.m. EST.
