Blackjack returns after almost 20 years from Dover Publications!

Posted on by

Dover Publications has announced the next book they’re going to be reprinting. Blackjack: Second Bite of the Cobra originally came out almost 20 years ago, and was a mini-series which was never collected. Blackjack was created and written by Alex Simmons, with artwork by Joe Bennett. It’ll be released in 2015.

Second Bite of the Cobra, the first story in the decades long Blackjack saga, is a tale of blood and vengeance, which stars Arron Day, alias Blackjack, an African-American soldier of fortune seeking revenge on a charismatic Bedouin warlord known as The Cobra. This current collection will feature a new foreword by Joe Illidge, a new afterword by Tom Sniegoski, and a new cover by Scott Hanna!

Archie Comics First Look: Archie: Obama & Palin In Riverdale

ARCHIE: OBAMA & PALIN IN RIVERDALE

What happens when two of the most polarizing figures in modern American politics cross paths in Riverdale High? That’s right – President Barack Obama and former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin make a campaign pit stop in one of America’s most visible and vibrant locales: Riverdale, USA!

When Archie and Reggie’s dueling student government campaigns spiral out of control, their hijinks and machinations ensnare the two visiting politicos which leads to a heavy dose of high school hilarity.

Archie: Obama & Palin in Riverdale is a large-format volume best suited to present this larger-than-life adventure from the creative minds of writer/educator Alex Simmons and longtime artist Dan Parent. The iconic cover says it all – Obama and Palin sharing a milkshake. As Archie himself says, “Anything’s possible in Riverdale!”

This story has already garnered extensive media attention and awareness and makes for a light-hearted, positive tale with a message of cooperation, civility and friendship. A must-have for the holidays.
