All love withers and dies but for Chase Darrow, it is literally the kiss of death. Chase Darrow is a beautiful weapon. The US government gave her a sexual power that makes her utterly alluring — the perfect weapon for espionage. Yet to kiss a man leaves his lifeforce drained and means that no one can love her without paying the ultimate price.  But Chase is now on the run from The Man — another government creation and the first superhero. All machismo, he is sent to bring Chase back, but which weapon will prove the most powerful — love or death?  The Breathtaker Collection features the original four-part cult-classic, plus an all-new origin comic following The Man, by Marc Hempel and Mark Wheatley and features a foreword by Neil Gaiman. Remastered and reprinted, experience the original Breathtaker story in an all new light.
