Special Variant Cover Edition Exclusive to Comic Stores!
August 20, Mt. Laurel, NJ: The next hotly anticipated graphic novel collection of Dynamite’s hit comic titles created in partnership with Warner Bros. Discovery Global Consumer Products is coming this November in time for the holidays! Space Ghost by the stellar talents of writer David Pepose and artist Jonathan Lau compiles its first six issues together for fans with multiple formats and options.
A light shines out in the darkness, and Dynamite’s revival of Space Ghost in comic books has been a best-selling and critical hit, uniting fans with a fresh perspective that perfectly captures the original nostalgic energy through the lens of modern superhero stylings. Rising star writer David Pepose (Punisher, Savage Avengers) flexes his passion for the character and universe at every chance, connecting with fans and always with new exciting elements for each issue. Virtuoso artist Jonathan Lau has drawn many of Dynamite’s greatest hits for over a decade, but has long been thirsting to tackle a more traditional superhero tale again, and his enthusiasm shows on every page.
“Combining superheroes and sci-fi with a universe filled with iconic characters and concepts, Space Ghost has been one of the most rewarding projects I’ve had in my entire career,” said series writer David Pepose. “Artist Jonathan Lau and I have been leaving it all out on the field for this series… whether you’re a newcomer or a diehard fan, we’re excited to show you why Space Ghost is one of the greatest heroes in the galaxy.”
With Space Ghost issue #7 also in stores this November, Dynamite is setting out to give fans the ideal opportunity to catch up with a perfect package to binge the previous six. Space Ghost Vol 1: With Only Ghosts to Comfort Us brings together the first half year of the new era, alongside a complete variant cover gallery, and topped off with a new introduction by Pepose.
The book is available as both a paperback and a hardcover, sporting Francesco Mattina’s instantly iconic cover to the first issue. A limited edition separate hardcover edition features a stunning cover by Michael Cho, with his timeless style, and is signed by Pepose. As a special release for the passionate retailers and communities around dedicated comic book stores, a paperback with the Cho cover will be available exclusively in the direct market.
SPACE GHOST VOL 1: WITH ONLY GHOSTS TO COMFORT US will be solicited in Diamond Comic Distributors’ September 2024 Previews catalog, the premier source of merchandise for the comic book specialty market, and slated for release in November 2024. Comic book fans are encouraged to preorder copies of the book with their local comic book retailers.
