Sergio Toppi’s The Collector Hits Stands September 3rd
The late Sergio Toppi was renowned comic creator and inspiration for today’s creators. To celebrate his life and work, Archaia, an imprint of BOOM!, will release his longest-running original series in English.
From BOOM!:
Toppi’s breathtaking line work and composition will leave you staring at his pages for hours. While this oversized edition serves as much as an art book as a comic, the adventures of the globe-scouring, daredevil Collector will appeal to fans of the Indiana Jones movies, Five Ghosts, or Doc Savage.
“Not everyone realizes how much of an influence Toppi was to some of today’s most successful creators,” said BOOM! Studios Editor-in-Chief Matt Gagnon. “When Archaia released SHARAZ-DE early last year, new fans began to discover what a classic illustrator he truly was. Now, with this English translation of THE COLLECTOR, one of his seminal works, it’s our pleasure to continue to publish the masterworks of one of the all-time greats.”
Far from the auction halls of the elite, The Collector seeks out rare and mysterious artifacts across the world. He is as at home in the salons of Paris as he is in the jungles of Borneo. Set against the backdrop of late 19th-century colonialism, THE COLLECTOR is a delightful, swashbuckling adventure! This edition features an introduction by Sean Gordon Murphy (The Wake).
You can preorder his work today at your local comic book shop. This hardcover graphic novel will carry an MSRP of $34.99.
Dead Letters Vol. 1 Debuts August with Special Introductory Price
Christopher Sebela and Chris Visions‘s Dead Letters from BOOM! is a critically-acclaimed, supernatural noir story. If you can’t find the first issue, don’t panic; the first volume of the series will be available for $9.99 in August.
From BOOM!:
There has always been a place for crime stories at BOOM! Studios, and DEAD LETTERS is a wholly unique take on noir. When Sam Whistler wakes up in an unfamiliar motel room dressed in hospital scrubs and his arms wrapped in bandages, he doesn’t remember a single thing about who he is or how he got there. But the goons knocking down his door sure do, and suddenly Sam is thrust into the middle of a gang war in the bizarre landscape known only as “Here,” a hodgepodge of different places from different times where the normal rules—particularly those of life and death—don’t apply.
“Christopher Sebela and Chris Visions have poured everything they’ve got into this series, and it shows on every page,” said BOOM! Studios Editor-in-Chief Matt Gagnon. “Getting a noir series right is difficult enough on its own, but creating the world of ‘Here’ and adding this otherworldly element is just a phenomenal achievement. We’re incredibly proud of this series and happy to be collecting it in a volume that will allow readers to jump in at a great price.”
