Rick Remender and Kieron Dwyer’s Black Heart Bill Celebrates 25 Years with a Limited Edition Black and White Hardcover
Created by dynamic duo Rick Remender and Kieron Dwyer, Black Heart Billy is a joyful mash-up of comic absurdity, irreverent satire, and non-stop anarchic action and will be brought back to shelves in a glorious, 25th anniversary black and white hardcover edition this December from Image Comics. It will be a limited edition print run so new readers and longtime fans are encouraged to pre-order their copies post haste.
The stylish Black Heart Billy 25th Anniversary deluxe hardcover will collect the entire original run of the skate-punk, cult-classic—plus a treasure trove of never-before-seen bonus content—along with a new afterword written by Remender during a late night nostalgic delirium.
In Black Heart Billy, readers meet the titular Billy Black—a skate-punk misfit with a robotic head, a bottomless supply of sarcastic societal contempt, and terrible impulse control. His life is a never-ending quest for fun, punk rock debauchery, and skating abandoned pools—up until a deranged Nazi scientist decides to bring Adolf Hitler back to life through 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 reeking, moral authority.
Black Heart Billy 25th Anniversary deluxe hardcover (ISBN: 9781534333260) will be available at local comic book shops on Wednesday, December 17 and independent bookstores, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Books-a-Million, Indigo, and Waterstones on Tuesday, December 30.
