1st printing. Written by Rick Remender. Art by Kieron Dwyer and Harper Jaten. Cover by Kieron Dwyer. fter decades in comic-book exile, the absurd skatepunk cult classic BLACK HEART BILLY returns, celebrating 25 gloriously questionable years of terrible choices, filthy living, and a long-forgotten punk-rock ideology all wrapped up in the last thing it deserves, a fancy hardcover. Meet Billy Black: skate-punk misfit with a robotic head, a bottomless supply of sarcastic contempt for society, and terrible impulse control. His life is a never-ending quest for fun, punk rock debauchery, and skating abandoned pools-- until a deranged Nazi scientist decides to bring Adolf Hitler back inside the reanimated corpse of Jerry Garcia. Now, San Francisco is rapidly descending into a fascist hippie nightmare and only Billy, armed with snide disdain, a baseball bat, and reckless disregard for personal safety, can defeat this self-righteous, patchouli soaked, moral authority. Created by the dynamic duo of RICK REMENDER (GROMMETS, THE SCUMBAG) and KIERON DWYER (SEA OF RED, Captain America), BLACK HEART BILLY is a joyful mash-up of comic absurdity, irreverent satire, and non-stop anarchic action. This stylish hardcover collects the entire original run in original black & white, plus a treasure trove of previously unseen goodies and a new afterword that Remender probably wrote in a nostalgic delirium.

Bass Reeves, the first black Deputy US Marshal west of the Mississippi, was one of the wiliest lawmen in the territories, bringing thousands of outlaws to justice with his smarts.

Story and art by Charles Burns.

Suburban Seattle, the mid-1970s. A strange plague has descended upon the area's teenagers, transmitted by sexual contact, that manifests in any number of ways - from the hideously grotesque to the subtle and concealable. What unfolds isn't the expected battle to fight the plague, or bring heightened awareness to it, or even to treat it. Instead, Black Hole paints a fascinating and eerie portrait of the nature of high school alienation itself - the savagery, the cruelty, the relentless anxiety and ennui, the longing for escape. As hypnotically beautiful as it is horrifying, Black Hole deftly explores a specific American cultural moment in flux and the kids who are caught in it.

Black is the Color begins with a 17th century sailor abandoned at sea by his shipmates, and as it progresses he endures, and eventually succumbs to, both his lingering death sentence and the advances of a cruel and amorous mermaid. The narrative also explores the experiences of the loved ones he leaves behind, on his ship and at home on land, as well as of the mermaids who jadedly witness his destruction. At the heart of the story lie the dubious value of maintaining dignity to the detriment of intimacy, and the erotic potential of the worst case scenario. Julie Gfrörer's delicate drawing style perfectly complements the period era of Black is the Color, bringing the lyricism and romanticism of Gfrörer's prose to the fore.
