Owner's Description

<b>Original solicitation:</b><i> Has there always been a 'Runaways?' No. Then what does the above cover mean? You're going to have to read it to find out, True Believers. Joss Whedon (ASTONISHING X-MEN, Buffy) and Michael Ryan (NEW EXCALIBUR) bring you more twists and turns as the Runaways go somewhere they've never been before."</i>

Using the artifact they stole, the kids manage to run away from their pursuers, but end up going back in time - to 1907 New York City. There, they meet a gang of other "Wonders"and find themselves caught in the middle of meta-human gang war.

<b>Gallery B-Side:</b> The first appearance of Klara Prast, the "Scrappy-Doo" of the Runaways.

<b>Fun fact:</b> Scrappy-Doo has become the symbol of an irritatingly overexuberant or cute character added to a series in an attempt to maintain ratings, a phenomenon also known as "Cousin Oliver Syndrome." In fact, because of the character's well-known unpopularity, characters added to a fictional work who were meant to be taken well, but actually are received poorly, are known as "Scrappies."
