Howard Chaykin's BLACK KISS Returns In August

In the late 1980s, Howard Chaykin created a controversial book that merged sex, violence, and religion. Now he returns to that place with BLACK KISS II - a six issue miniseries from Image Comics. 

In BLACK KISS II, he takes readers to New York City in the early 20th century — to a country on the brink of monumental changes, where the melting pot of steaming filth, lust, and fantasy threatens to boil over. And where, as the century moves on, the fantasies that appear on flickering film will present a means for an insatiable evil to spread.

"The original series generated far more attention, notoriety and, frankly, income, than I ever anticipated." said Chaykin. "That said, after fielding offers and requests for a follow up, it wasn't until I was listening to Stephen Sondheim's Follies, specifically the anthem that closes act one, 'I'm Still Here,' that I had any idea how or what to do with a sequel. So thanks to Image for being there at the right time, and blame Stephen Sondheim."

BLACK KISS II #1 (with a Mature rating) will be in stores on August 1.
