BEFORE THE RISE Long before City Planner Joh Fredersen and Chief Engineer Karl Rotwang completed the construction of the amazing city called Metropolis, both fell in love with an idealistic young woman named Hel. Yet both were obsessed men and their love for her was fated to end in broken-hearted tragedy. Writers Charles Santino and Michael Panush peel back the curtain to tell how three souls, each fueled by their grandiose dreams, built a towering monument to mankind. One founded on the blood, sweat, and tears of the less fortunate. This is a tale of triumph and loss, hubris and crushing reality. Come, Metropolis beckons among the clouds.
