Howard Chaykin’s BLACK KISS Omnibus!

Posted on by

Howard Chaykin’s BLACK KISS is getting an omnibus.  It will be a 7.25″ X 10.875″ hard cover that clocks in at 400 pages.  BLACK KISS was a groundbreaking hardboiled crime/horror series featuring vampires, violence and graphic sexual content.   Here’s the synopsis…

“Poisonous and bitter, an absurdly funny sucker punch demanding to be spat out.” — Matt Fraction (Sex Criminals)

The infamous, hardboiled-erotica series is collected for the first time in a deluxe hardcover omnibus featuring new material.

It’s been a long, long time…one last time.

Collecting for the first time every stop along the way on Howard Chaykin’s transgressively groundbreaking trail, the BLACK KISS OMNIBUS collects the legendary 1988 series, its 2012 sequel BLACK KISS 2, plus the BLACK KISS XXXMAS SPECIAL and, created just for this volume, the all-new 28-page BLACK KISS HALLOWEEN, which will mark Chaykin’s final excursion into this world’s hardboiled erotic noir.

Throw in a look back at the project’s long history of sensationalism and censorship, plus a large assortment of extras from across nearly four decades, and this 400-page collection will be the definitive shelf-filler that once again makes readers ask that vital question…does it have to be so dirty?

Collects Black Kiss #1-12, Black Kiss 2 #1-6, and the Black Kiss XXXMas in July Special

Deal me in.

KING OF SPIES by Mark Millar, Matteo Scalera & Ogur Yildrim is Getting a Library Edition!

Posted on by

KING OF SPIES written by Mark Millar with art by Matteo Scalera and colors by Ogur Yildrim is getting a library edition (152 pages, 8″ x 12.1875 hardcover)!  Here’s the scoop!

The world’s greatest secret agent has six months to live…now it’s time to go after the REAL bastards.

Regarded as Millar’s comics masterpiece, KING OF SPIES left jaws on the floor as he and artist Matteo Scalera took the classic tropes of the spy genre and subverted everything as Britain’s greatest secret agent, now in his sixties, discovers he has six months to live.

He has a choice between gentle decline or going after everyone he thinks deserves to die.

His worldview has changed since he retired from the service and as he looks around at the mess the world’s in, he has a long list of people he blames. Politicians, royalty, journalists and celebrities, Sir Roland King wants to root out as much of the corrupt status quo as he can before he goes, and a lifetime of experience makes him almost impossible to catch. Who is the one man who might be able to take him down? His estranged son, eager to destroy him after Roland abandoned both he and his mother many years ago.

This book is for fans of Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, Kingsman, Unforgiven and Kill Bill. It’s an elegant revenge thriller you won’t be able to put down.

I read KING OF SPIES as the individual issues came out and loved it.  Highly recommended!
