PORTLAND, Ore. 03/18/2021 — A limited number of adhesive bookplates featuring signatures 
from both co-creators—writer Skottie Young and artist Jorge Corona—will be available at select comic shops ahead of the highly anticipated Middlewest: The Complete Tale release. This all-in-one hardcover edition will collect the complete, eighteen issue, Eisner Award nominated series, along with exclusive bonus features, and be available from Image Comics this July.
Fans interested in snagging a bookplate with their hardcover purchase, should inquire with their local comic shop for availability.
Middlewest is the story of Abel, a young boy who must navigate an old land in order to reconcile his family’s history. The perfect read for fans of Joe Kelly and Ken Niimura’s I Kill Giants, dark fantasy like Return to Oz, classic Don Bluth animation, and fantastical Miyazaki adventure.
Middlewest: The Complete Tale hardcover (ISBN: 978-1-5343-1910-3, Diamond Code FEB210120) will be available on Wednesday, July 7 and in bookstores on Tuesday, July 13. It can be pre-ordered at your local comic book shop or independent bookstore via Bookshop or IndieBound, or it can be pre-ordered on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Books-a-Million, and Indigo.
Middlewest is also available for purchase across many digital platforms, including Amazon Kindle, Apple Books, comiXology, and Google Play.

“I’ve read a lot of comics in my life, but few of them hit me in the heart as much as Middlewest.

It feels like a long lost cousin to Sweet Tooth and Essex County.” —Jeff Lemire
