Runaways, vol. 1

Runaways, volume 1, by Brian K. Vaughan is a graphic novel about teens making their own way - not following in their parents footsteps.

When Alex, Gertrude, Nico, Karolina, Chase and Molly spy on their parents annual "fundraising meeting" and see them sacrifice a young girl in an apparent ritual, they are a bit freaked out.

After running away for their own safety, the gang hides out in a cave in the Hollywood hills. They will never become evil like their parents. If the police will not help, they must find a way to stop the 'rents on their own.

Vaughan is a regular at Marvel and has combined all of the aspects of the comics he grew up with into one series. This is the first of many Runaways books.

Vaughan, Brian K. (2005?). Runaways. New York: Marvel.

*This edition also includes vol. 2: Teenage Wasteland and vol. 3: The Good Die Young.
