A Dark Treat Is Coming

Over on his Facebook, Howard Chaykin has just confirmed that the Black Kiss Omnibus is coming this July from Image…

Just between us, think of this as the first in what will be a series of posts reminding the world of the cascade of filth that will soon be visited upon it.

Four months from today—a mere third of a year—will see the release of the Black Kiss Omnibus, in partnership with our friends at Image Comics.

We recently completed production on the collection, which features the brand, not to say spanking, new 28-page Black Kiss Hallowe’en, alongside the original 1988 Black Kiss, its 2012 sequel Black Kiss 2, and the Black Kiss XXXmas Special.

All this, plus an assortment of extras to warm the coldest heart.

Between now and then, we will check in occasionally with peeks behind the cover, the final version of which you are witness to here for the first time.

This omnibus marks the final Black Kiss project, 400 pages collecting a four-decade history marked by consistent sales success, equally consistent controversy, and the occasional unfortunate international incident at Customs.

It’s available for a mere $39.99 July 9, after which your life will never again be the same.

As ever, trust me on this.

ADVANCE SOLICIT
The infamous, hardboiled-erotica series is collected for the first time in a deluxe hardcover omnibus featuring new material.
It’s been a long, long time…one last time.
Collecting for the first time, every stop along the way on HOWARD CHAYKIN’s transgressively groundbreaking trail, the BLACK KISS OMNIBUS collects the legendary 1988 series, its 2012 sequel BLACK KISS 2, plus the BLACK KISS XXXMAS IN JULY SPECIAL, and, created just for this volume, the all-new 28-page BLACK KISS HALLOWEEN, which will mark CHAYKIN’s final excursion into this world’s hardboiled-erotic noir.
Throw in a look back at the project’s long history of sensationalism and censorship, plus a large assortment of extras from across nearly four decades, and this 400-page collection will be the definitive shelf-filler that once again makes readers ask that vital question…does it have to be so dirty?
Collects BLACK KISS #1-12, BLACK KISS 2 #1-6, and the BLACK KISS XXXMAS IN JULY SPECIAL
