Dynamite Entertainment Announces "Dynamite Originals" Comics Imprint

New Imprint Dynamite Originals Launches!

Starting With Superstar Mirka Andolfo & Top Creators On Vampirella: Black, White & Blood — Available Soon on Kickstarter!

Dynamite is excited to announce Dynamite Originals, a brand new imprint debuting first on Kickstarter with a heavy-hitting roster of creators taking on the company's flagship character — Vampirella! This new label will feature unique visions and innovative collaborations with the biggest creators in comics of today and tomorrow. It all starts soon, with Vampirella: Black, White & Blood!

This prestige anthology project is a close collaboration with Arancia Studio, known for its juggernaut leader Mirka Andolfo (Sweet Paprika, Mercy, Harley Quinn). Some of the most exciting rising stars of the Italian studio join today's biggest names in American comics on this star-studded special release. The whole book sports a stunning black-and-white palette, with splashes of red to really show off the artwork in these three tantalizing tales. It's the ultimate spotlight on the character and an international team-up of the comics craft.

"I couldn't be more thrilled about this book," said creator Mirka Andolfo. "Vampirella is such an iconic character…I had the pleasure of drawing her before, but this is my first time writing her. And I really hope it's not my last, because I had a lot of fun, also because I was surrounded by phenomenal creators! You're going to see some great things...”

Andolfo's creative and business partner Davide G.G. Caci added, “When, with our friends at Dynamite, we started talking about a Black, White & Blood special for Vampirella, we knew right away that we were on the same page. It was amazing to see how everyone — their team, our team, our editor Davide Morando, and of course, all the creators — were on the same page. At Arancia, we love to create creative bridges, and this special issue is something to be proud of: extraordinary American and European artists and writers teaming up to tell some stories starring a unique character.”
 
Andolfo leads the way with a fascinating fable with a meta twist. In "Redefining Shadows," she and artist Greta Xella depict the most unlikely team-up for the Daughter of Drakulon. She finds in her path a group of talented female artists, writers, and creatives, setting out to redefine their approach to fiction and challenging the dominant male narratives and gaze in the comics industry. This story not only reimagines Vampirella's story, which originally broke boundaries, but emphasizes the importance of diverse voices in storytelling.

In "Undercover" by Tim Seeley (Nightwing, Hack/Slash) and Zulema Scotto Lavina the Drakulonian antiheroine is accused of a series of violent murders. To clear her name, she goes undercover, embedding herself in a gang of vicious vampire hunters. In her quest to track down the mystery killer and protect her own kind, she may discover the culprit could be someone close to her heart.

Last but certainly not least, "The Ballad of Blind Love" features the work of Steve Orlando (Wonder Woman, Midnighter) and Alessandro Amoruso, and depicts a love story like no other. A powerful mob boss is desperately in love with Vampirella and will do anything to win her over. Misinterpreting her character and reactions, he starts bringing increasingly heinous sacrifices to garner her affection. It will take a dark turn when she demands of him the ultimate sacrifice...

Not to be outdone by the stories within, this project demanded a set of jaw-dropping covers by top names to deliver a perfect package to fans. Mirka Andolfo of course contributes one of course for the title she and her team are driving artistically. She's joined by superstars Stjepan Šejić, Jae Lee, and Joseph Michael Linsner. Each of these covers will be available as standard covers, chrome editions, and metal editions, plus fans will have the option to get them signed or CGC graded. And there will be options to get all four covers bundled together for a special collector’s price.

Everyone who signs up for updates on the campaign ahead of time will receive a free digital download of 2019's smash-hit Vampirella #1 that kicked off the character's latest major era under writer Christopher Priest.

Fantagraphics Books Will Publish the Late Joe Matt's Final Issue of "Peepshow"

Fantagraphics Proudly Announces the Posthumous Release of Peepshow #15 by Joe Matt

SEATTLE, WA—Fantagraphics Books is honored to announce the upcoming release of Peepshow #15, the latest and final issue of the critically acclaimed series by the late Joe Matt. Scheduled for release on July 17, 2024, this posthumous issue marks a significant moment in the legacy of one of the most distinctive and divisive voices in alternative comics.

Joe Matt, who passed away unexpectedly in 2023 at the age of 60, left behind a legacy that has influenced a generation of cartoonists, filmmakers, writers, artists, and readers alike. Known for his painfully honest and self-reflective work, Matt had been laboring over this new issue for 17 years, following the release of the previous issue in 2006.

In an extraordinary display of dedication and friendship, fellow cartoonist Chester Brown completed the final four uninked pages of Peepshow #15, ensuring that Joe Matt's vision would be fully realized. This issue is a testament to Matt's unyielding commitment to exploring the depths of his own character, offering readers a no-holds-barred look at his life with the same candidness and raw humor that defined his career.

Peepshow #15 details Matt's move from Toronto to Los Angeles in 2003 and his subsequent struggles, portrayed with his characteristic blend of self-deprecation and introspection. It's utterly shameless, completely self-absorbed, crafted with an exhibitionist's enthusiasm for his favorite subject, himself. Peepshow #15 is Joe Matt at his Joe Mattiest.

“Peepshow is amongst the great bodies of autobiographical work in the history of comics,” says Eric Reynolds, VP & Co-Publisher of Fantagraphics. “I’m grateful to Joe’s friends, and to Joe’s family, who have come together to put his final work out into the world where it belongs.”

Peepshow #15 is more than just the final chapter of a seminal series—it's a celebration of a life devoted to the art of comics. 

"Peepshow #15" by Joe Matt will be available in comic shops, online retailers, and from Fantagraphics.com on July 17, 2024.

Fantagraphics Announces New Edition of Joe Sacco's "PALESTINE" and New Weekly Comic

Fantagraphics Announces A New Edition of Joe Sacco's Palestine and the Launch of a New Weekly Comic Series on TCJ.com

SEATTLE, WA—In response to the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas, and the resurgence of interest in Joe Sacco's seminal work, Fantagraphics is proud to announce a new edition of the groundbreaking graphic novel Palestine, along with the introduction of a compelling new weekly comic by Joe Sacco on TCJ.com, titled "The War on Gaza."

Originally published 30 years ago, Palestine was a pioneering work of comics journalism, offering a nuanced, humanistic portrayal of the lives of Palestinians. After over 25 reprints of the original edition, this new edition comes at a crucial time, as the world witnesses a devastating new chapter in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The new edition will feature an essay by Israeli journalist Amira Hass, updated trade dress, and retain the foreword by the late Edward Said.

“The demand for Palestine has skyrocketed following the horrific events of October 7 and Israel’s brutal response, indicating a yearning for understanding from readers all over the world," said Gary Groth, president and co-founder of Fantagraphics. "We hope that the reissue of Palestine and the new series of graphic commentary 'The War on Gaza’ will help awaken the world to the plight of the Palestinian people and illuminate the political context of the Israel-Palestinian conflict. Sadly, as Amira Hass makes clear in her new Afterword, Joe Sacco's deeply empathetic account of the Gazan people is even more relevant today than at any time since its original publication.”

Concurrently, Joe Sacco is venturing into a timely exploration of the current conflict through "The War on Gaza," a series of short comics and reflections published weekly on TCJ.com. This new project stems from Sacco's commitment to shedding light on the human cost of the conflict, drawing from his extensive background in journalism and cartooning to offer insightful, poignant observations.

The original paperback of Palestine is available in stores now while supplies last, with the hardcover edition to follow in the fall. Readers can follow "The War on Gaza" weekly on TCJ.com/author/joe-sacco, starting immediately, beginning here.

PRE-ORDER at Fantagraphics or at AMAZON.

Archie Comics Announces "Archie & Friends: Hot Rod Racing" for April 3rd

A NEW RACER TEARS UP THE ROAD IN RIVERDALE!

Hard-driving Daisy Thunder of the Southside Serpents makes her turbo-charged debut in a new one-shot comic book this April!

Riverdale's teens push the pedal to the metal in April when Archie Comics welcomes new character Daisy Thunder to town! Daisy, an ace racer from the rival gang Southside Serpents, gives Archie a run for his money in a new story by writer Craig Boldman and artist Steven Butler that kicks off ARCHIE & FRIENDS: HOT ROD RACING, a one-shot comic book collecting racing stories from throughout Archie history.




“Racing and cool cars are such a big part of childhood fantasies and part of Archie lore, and we wanted a new character who evoked that feeling with a little bit of danger," said Archie Comics Editor-in-Chief Mike Pellerito

In Daisy's debut, she challenges the core Archie cast to a race which Archie hopes to win with his famously run-down jalopy, now rebuilt as a hot rod for the job. And in true Archie Comics style, there's drama off the track, as well, as the story hints at a complicated history between the characters.

"I had a rough idea of what we wanted with an invented history of the Southside Serpents going back to the ‘Little Archie’ days," Pellerito continued, "and a look that took inspiration from Evel Knievel, Pinky Tuscadero, and Penelope Pitstop, which Steven Butler perfectly brought to visual life. But I wanted a name before Craig Boldman put it all together. My right-hand man [Archie Comics Production Manager/Associate Editor] Stephen Oswald started listing off cool racing movies with a twist, and we had Daisy Thunder! Craig turned it into something great and Steven went above and beyond. Another amazing character added to the Archie sandbox, and I can’t wait for more.”

That in-universe backstory will give Archie fans something to chew on as Daisy revs the engine in HOT ROD RACING and future appearances, adding a foil and rival for Archie much in the same way Cheryl Blossom stirred up the dynamic between Betty and Veronica when she was reintroduced in 1994's "Love Showdown" storyline.

“Daisy Thunder is a childhood friend of the Riverdale gang — or should we say frenemy? — who moved away when they were very young. Now she’s back!" said Boldman, offering some insight into that fictional backdrop. "In the intervening years, she’s had an amazing life, owing to her father’s career as a globe-hopping professional racecar driver. He’s ready to settle down and enjoy a slower pace, but it turns out Daisy’s not wired that way.”

ARCHIE & FRIENDS: HOT ROD RACING releases April 3, 2024 in comic shops nationwide, with inks by Lily Butler, colors by Glenn Whitmore, lettering by Jack Morelli, and a cover by Steven & Lily Butler with colors by Rosario “Tito” Peña. It's available for pre-order at comic shops nationwide now.

Peter Bagge's "HATE" Returns in a New Series

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: 

Buddy Bradley Is Back!

The Greatest Comic Series of the '90s Triumphantly Returns, in HATE REVISITED

FEBRUARY 19, 2024—SEATTLE, WA—Fantagraphics is thrilled to announce HATE REVISITED by Peter Bagge, a 4-issue monthly comic series slated to start releasing in June 2024. Touted by critics and fans alike as one of the best alternative comic series of all time, HATE is revitalized with fresh new stories featuring the iconic characters Buddy Bradley, Lisa, Valerie, and the gang. Flashing back and forth between the present day and the height of '90s grunge-era, these new stories return readers to the vivid world of HATE. Finally giving due to Stinky’s shocking suicide, as Buddy is forced to come to terms with his friend’s death, these new comics bring depth and closure to storylines that have been building for over 3 decades.  

One of Fantagraphics’ flagship comic series, HATE put Peter Bagge on the map in the early '90s. Tens of thousands of readers followed along as Bagge chronicled the everyday travails of disaffected Gen X slacker Buddy Bradley, and the motley crew of losers, schemers, and romantic partners in his orbit. Primarily set in grunge-era Seattle, HATE captured the zeitgeist of the '90s alternative subculture, characterized by its cynicism, irreverent humor, and critique of mainstream society. Bagge's kinetic rubber-limbed art style, sharp dialogue, and incisive satire made HATE a seminal alternative comic that influenced a generation of cartoonists. Offering a raw and humorous look at the struggles and absurdities of young adulthood in a rapidly changing world, the saga of HATE remains as vital today as when it was first created.

"While it was suggested to me that I revisit the old HATE cast, once I got started on it I was more than happy with the results," explains cartoonist Peter Bagge. "This stuff writes itself! I'm also glad I decided to split it between the present day as well as flashbacks to the '80s and '90s. This was especially true with Stinky. I forgot what a loose cannon that character was!"

“When Peter first floated the idea of a new HATE series, I was immediately thrilled. But the results have far exceeded my high expectations,” says Fanta VP/Associate Publisher Eric Reynolds. “HATE REVISITED not only captures the humor and anarchy of the original series, but adds a layer of emotional gravitas as Buddy and Lisa and co. are confronted with the consequences of some of their youthful indiscretions.” 

HATE REVISITED will be available for retailers to order via Diamond and Lunar. 

A treat for die-hard fans and a perfect entry point for new readers, HATE REVISITED further cements Peter Bagge as one of the finest cartoonists of all time.

Daniel Clowes' New Original Graphic Novel, "MONICA," Now in Stores

Daniel Clowes Returns with New Original Graphic Novel, "Monica"

Fantagraphics to Publish Long-Awaited Comics Masterpiece

SEATTLE, WA—Fantagraphics is honored to announce the release of Monica, the first original graphic novel by Daniel Clowes (Ghost World, Patience) in more than half a decade. Monica is the most personal and ambitious book of his storied career.

Monica is a series of short, interconnected narratives that tell the life story — actually, stories — of its titular character. Clowes calls upon a lifetime of observation and artistic inspiration to create his most complex and sophisticated graphic novel yet. Rich visual detail, masterful graphic storytelling, and a novelist’s attention to the vernacular rhythm of language and dialogue combine with a plot full of surprising twists to create a multilayered masterpiece of the form that alludes to many of the genres that have defined the medium — war, romance, horror, crime, the supernatural, etc. — but in a mysterious, uncategorizable, and quintessentially Clowesian way that rewards multiple readings.

Six years in the making, Monica marks the creative apex of an artist whose generation of cartoonists has defined the literary graphic novel. A new book by Clowes is both cause for celebration among readers and a genuine literary event.

“Daniel Clowes had already created what might well be my favorite body of work in the medium's history,” explains Fantagraphics Vice President Eric Reynolds. “But Monica raises his own bar even higher, as both a writer of fiction and as a cartoonist. It's a masterpiece that is both utterly Clowes and unlike anything else I've ever read.”

Daniel Clowes is the legendary indie cartoonist whose comics have helped shape the modern literary landscape. His graphic novels have been translated into over 20 languages worldwide and have been adapted into film (he is an Academy Award nominated screenwriter for Ghost World), is the recipient of a PEN Award, and multiple Eisner and Harvey Awards. Retrospectives of his work have appeared at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago, the Oakland Museum, and the Wexner Center in Columbus, OH. Fantagraphics has been publishing Daniel Clowes since 1985.

Monica is slated to release October 3, 2023.

Archie Comics Announces New "Madam Satan" from Archie Horror in September

ARCHIE HORROR UNIVERSE EXPANDS IN NEW MADAM SATAN TEAM-UP!

The chilling anti-hero stars in a book-length solo thriller MADAM SATAN: HELL ON EARTH, releasing in September

Press Release — Madam Satan, the long-running macabre anti-hero of the Archie Horror imprint from Archie Comics, is about to take her ongoing battle against Satan to the next level in CHILLING ADVENTURES PRESENTS... MADAM SATAN: HELL ON EARTH. The one-shot comic book releasing in September also establishes linked continuity among the Archie Horror titles for the first time with a surprise team-up.

Writer Eliot Rahal kicked off Madam Satan's solo story in a sold-out 2020 one-shot following her memorable run as an iconic Sabrina villain, and he has chronicled her escape from Hell in short stories appearing in two Chilling Adventures in Sorcery anthologies. In HELL ON EARTH, with art by Vincenzo Federici (TMNT: The Armageddon Game), those narrative threads come together in an explosive battle as the forces of Hell invade the mortal plane. 

"Honestly, I really can't believe they keep letting me do this," Rahal said. "When Archie asked me to write Madam Satan a few years ago I never imagined I'd get to work with the character for so long and over so much time. . . . Really, the only choice this time around was for me to let go and have fun. I hope everyone who reads it does, as well."

The events of HELL ON EARTH are so overwhelming that Madam Satan may be in over her head, and a chance encounter with another powerful figure could either save the day or seal her fate. It also places several Archie Horror characters in the same shared universe for the first time, after years of standalone one-shots occupying their own space.

"We're so excited to return to the world of Madam Satan," said Archie Comics Senior Director of Editorial Jamie L. Rotante. "Starting way back in 2020, Eliot has been weaving this beautiful and tragic narrative about the titular character's journey through Hell and back to Earth. This chapter allows it to take a new turn: Madam Satan is back in Greendale, and it seems that Hell has followed her there. Vincenzo's hauntingly gorgeous art amplifies all of the emotion within, while also punching you in the face with graphic and frightening images."

"The fact that I can return to her story with Vincenzo's incredible visuals and Ellie's brilliant colors is such a gift," Rahal said. "I'm so grateful." 

Federici drew Madam Satan's previous two chapters in Chilling Adventures in Sorcery and The Return of Chilling Adventures in Sorcery, bringing the story's demonic themes to life with his moody, atmospheric inks and dynamic layouts. 

"I'm truly excited to be here again!" Federici said. "When I was asked to work on a full Madam Satan one-shot I was like OH YEAH! because of my love for this character. With Madam Satan I can try new things on my page layouts and art style, so I'm always happy to be on this. It's amazing to have the opportunity to continue the story we worked on for the last two years and give her some good action moments. Eliot's script is super funny and I'm lucky to work with him!"

Archie Horror's narrative expansion continues through the rest of this year and the next with more stories exploring the dark corners of its shared universe. Rotante added, "This one-shot is filled with twists and turns both heart-wrenching and horrifying. But trust us, this isn't the end of Madam Satan's story."

HELL ON EARTH, with an open-to-order variant cover by Soo Lee, colors by Ellie Wright, and lettering by Jack Morelli, releases September 20, 2023 in comic shops nationwide.
