Tenacious D’s Post-Apocalypto Goes Back to Print

Post-Apocalypto

Tenacious D‘s Post-Apocalypto, their graphic novel from publisher Fantagraphics, will go back to press on the book to meet ongoing and unabated demand for The D!

The book has gone virally popular and has been well-received since the release less than a week ago, on September 15th. Fantagraphics has pulled the trigger on a second printing of Post-Apocalypto, the graphic novel drawn by Jack Black and written by Black and Kyle Gass. The second printing of Post-Apocalypto is set to hit stores in early December, perfect timing for holiday shopping.

Post-Apocalypto finds Tenacious D thrust into a world of complete and utter destruction following the drop of an atomic bomb. Surviving the attack in classic cinematic fashion (a good old imperishable 1950s refrigerator), the duo quickly learn that new forms of evil have spawned from the blast. One thing becomes apparent – for humanity to prevail, Tenacious D must save the world. And they will!

Fantagraphics Rocks Out With Tenacious D’s Post-Apocalypto Graphic Novel!

The last two years marked a very memorable period for Tenacious D, releasing Tenacious D in Post-Apocalypto (the YouTube film) and Post-Apocalypto (the album), not to mention playing some of the biggest shows of the duo’s 20+ year career. Carrying that momentum into the new decade, the Greatest Band in the World™ — comprised of comedians-musicians-actors Jack Black and Kyle Gass — are partnering with Fantagraphics to introduce the newest piece to its creative universe: Post-Apocalypto, the graphic novel, due to release September 2020.

Hand-drawn entirely by Black, and co-written by Black and Gass, Post-Apocalypto, the graphic novel, is THE must-have book of 2020!

True to the title, Post-Apocalypto finds Tenacious D thrust into a world of utter destruction following the detonation of an atomic bomb. Surviving the attack in classic cinematic fashion (a good old impenetrable 1950s refrigerator), the duo soon learns that new forms of evil have spawned from the blast. It quickly becomes apparent that for humanity to prevail, Tenacious D must save the world.

With twists and turns including an insane (and timely, given the election-year) visit to the White House, a time machine, a space adventure, and some tried and true daddy issues, Post-Apocalypto is as hilarious as it is political, and as brilliant and multi-faceted as its incredible creators.

Fans will also be able to stream a read-along audiobook version, voiced entirely by Black and Gass, to fully immerse themselves in the sights and sounds of Post-Apocalypto – characters, music and everything in between!
