Artists participating include Lee Bermejo, Dave McKean, Cliff Chiang, Nicola Scott, Stephanie Hans and Tara McPherson. This book is due to hit shelves on May 6, prior to the film’s May 15th release.

The second collaboration will see George Miller, Nico Lathouris and Mark Sexton writing four prelude stories that follow leading characters Nux, Immortan Joe, Furiosa, and Mad Max (whose story will be in two parts).
