Four years ago this month, Matt Kindt turned in the final draft of a simple short story entitled, HERO FOR SALE. This astonishing and insightful narrative about superheroes, which notably sidelines the heroes themselves, said as much about how we collectively approach comic book intellectual property as it did about its characters.
To celebrate the birth of this comic book legend properly we’ve gone deep into the BAD IDEA archives to remaster the original stories, and we’ve raided the editorial desks to give you a first look at the future of THE HERO TRADE.
Introducing, THE HERO TRADE: FOURTH ANNIVERSARY SPECIAL!
- Collecting the original HERO FOR SALE story and its acclaimed sequel SELL OUT, both now in beautiful full-color by Bill Crabtree, renowned colorist of INVINCIBLE.
- This edition boasts a brand-new glorious wraparound cover featuring both beloved familiar characters and many, intriguing new additions.
- Features a brand-new preface commemorating the fourth anniversary.
- Includes character designs and notes for upcoming stories taken directly from the desk of David Lapham and the editors.
- And a brand-new painting by Matt Kindt featuring the first appearance of a major new character that will appear in the next HERO TRADE story — a story unlike any before!
Best of all, we’re giving copies away! To secure a copy, simply join us at Wondercon 2024 this Sunday at noon in room 207, where BAD IDEA is making its first ever panel appearance at the Anaheim show!
