Dark Horse Books presents The Black Beetle Omnibus, Francesco Francavilla’s love letter to classic crime busters. The Black Beetle Omnibus will collect every thrilling Black Beetle tale written and illustrated by Francavilla for the first time, including the full-length adventures No Way Out and Kara Bocek and the one-shot, Night Shift. The paperback book also collects never-before-seen bonus content, including concept art, layouts, character studies, vintage-style lobby cards, behind-the-scenes material from Francavilla’s sketchbook, and a brand-new cover by Francavilla.

After witnessing an explosion that decimates the city’s organized crime community, killing dozens, the Black Beetle—Colt City’s sleuthing sentinel—is on the hunt for answers and justice in the story, No Way Out.

In Kara Bocek, the masked American hero ventures to the Middle East incognito (as Tom Sawyer) to fight Nazis in pursuit of a mysterious object of terrible power—a weapon of unknown origin, older than the pyramids, which could fuel the Thousand-Year Reich of Hitler’s dreams.

Finally, in Night Shift, the Black Beetle is on the case when a powerful totem of magic shows up at Colt City Natural History Museum, prompting Hitler to send his fearsome Werewolf Korps to collect the piece.

The Black Beetle Omnibus (paperback, 216 pages, 10.1875 x 6.625”) will be available in bookstores and comic shops on September 22, 2026. It is now available for preorder at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and your local comic shop and bookstore for $29.99.
