Overview

In Alpha, Jens Harder takes the reader on a graphic operatic journey, beginning with the nano-seconds following the Big Bang through the next 14 billion years. He uses a cinematic style to show every step, with imagery taken from popular culture, archaeology, science, film and art sources, charting the long course of biological evolution. Alpha is the first in a graphic novel trilogy covering the world and mankind's evolution, beginning with a speck in the sky and ending with the rise of the Neanderthal.
