IT IS HERE AND IT IS REAL!!!

THE BLACK GHOST v1: HARD REVOLUTION is coming May 5 from @DarkHorseComics, after an acclaimed digital run on @comiXology Originals. https://www.darkhorse.com/Books/3007-058/The-Black-Ghost-TPB

Seeing actual, hard copy books that I've worked on gets me misty-eyed, so please allow me a minute to give a huge shout-out to our creative team. They made this book sing, and it was a blast to launch this series with such a great team of talents and, more importantly, friends.

So, HUGE HUGE HUGE thanks to co-creator/co-writer @eatyourlipstick, co-creator/artist @GeorgeKambadais, colorist @elliewrightart, letterer @TaylorEspo, proofreader @Jamitha, and editor @greglockard. This was a gang of pros, that came in, did their job very, very well.

The book would not exist without the team at @comiXology, especially @stonemtn, @chipmosher. They pushed us to do our best, and rolled out the red carpet. Huge thanks are also due to @superfanpr @pmullvath at @Superfanpromo, who spread the word about this series in every way.

(including an amazing plug by @georgegustines in @nytimes!)

The @DarkHorseComics print edition looks stunning (my phone camera is not great, but trust me!), and that’s a testament to editor @NotTooChaby and the whole DH crew, who’ve given the book so much love and care. It shows. Can’t wait for everyone to hold this in their hands, too.

I’d be remiss if I didn’t thank our agent on the project, @dzhyde at @HillNadell, who advocated for us and keeps the wheels turning.

And to our murderer’s row of cover artists, including @SavageSmallwood, @f_francavilla, @itsveronicafish, @sinKEVitch, and Monica! They gave each book a unique feeling and really helped get some eyeballs on a new comic, which is no small feat.

BIG THANKS to the talented comic pros who took time out of their days to share kind words: @MarkWaid, @JeffLemire, @JamesTheFourth, @kellysue, @79SemiFinalist, @GailSimone, @FrankTieri, @cullenbunn, @AlexPaknadel, @DavidGallaher, and someone I’m forgetting because I'm terrible.

Please let your comic shop/indie bookstore know you’d like a copy of our little superhero noir, a love letter to books like the O’Neil/Cowan QUESTION, or the Wagner/Seagle/Davis era SANDMAN MYSTERY THEATER, with a #ownvoices crime fiction twist: https://www.darkhorse.com/Books/3007-058/The-Black-Ghost-TPB
