Jesse Custer was supposed to save souls—until God abandoned His post. Possessed by a rogue divine entity called Genesis and armed with the Word of God, Jesse walks away from the pulpit and onto the open highway, determined to track down the runaway Creator and demand answers. At his side: Tulip O’Hare, the woman he broke and can’t stop loving, and Cassidy, a centuries-old vampire whose charm hides a long trail of bad decisions.
Across small-town America, New York’s darkest corners, and the nightmare swamps of Jesse’s own family history, their journey collides with cults, secret societies, voodoo, and an unstoppable gunslinger from Hell. Preacher Compendium One collects the first half of Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon’s celebrated, cult-classic saga—a violent, funny, and unexpectedly heartfelt story about faith, freedom, and what it means to be a good person in a rotten world.
Collects Preacher #1–33; Preacher Special: Saint of Killers #1–4; and Preacher Special: Cassidy – Blood & Whiskey #1.
