SYNOPSIS:
At the height of the Cold War, the Soviet Union, determined to win the Space Race at any cost, green lit a dangerously advanced mission. They sent a man farther into the cosmos than anyone has gone before or since. Lost in the stars, he encountered something unknown. Something that changed him.
Long thought lost & erased from the history books, he has suddenly returned, crash-landing in the Australian Outback. The few that have been able to reach him believe him to be a deity; one who turned the scorched desert into a lush oasis. They say he can bend matter, space, & even time to his will. Earth is about to meet a new god; and he's a communist.How long can it be before the first confrontation between mankind and DIVINITY begins?

COLLECTOR'S NOTES:
Perhaps (in my opinion) the least visually stunning cover of the Divinity series. I contacted Aaron Michael Schrom (eBay seller turtleman402) who buys/sells a high monthly volume of comics, and requested a CGC 9.8 copy (since I knew he would have one). Not long after, a member of the Valiant Fans comunity was selling this CGC 9.8 Signature Series copy, signed by colorist David Barron, which I purchased without delay.
Hairsine's interior page art is featured for the cover of Divinity #1 (Hairsine Variant Cover) behind the color scheme. The cover design is actually by artist Tom Muller, and features Hairsine's artwork which appears to come from a number of interior pages actually, however the most visibly prominant page art is from Page #3 which is pictured below.
