STRAY BULLETS, by award-winning creator David Lapham, has
found a new home: Image Comics. The critically-acclaimed cult classic that left
readers in heart-stopping suspense at the end of issue #40 will pick up where
it left off and make up for lost time.
Image Comics is proud to announce that STRAY BULLETS #41
(Diamond Code: JAN140528), a definitive collection of issues #1-41 entitled
STRAY BULLETS: THE ÜBER ALLES EDITION (Diamond Code JAN140530), and the first
issue of STRAY BULLETS: THE KILLERS #1 (Diamond Code JAN140529), the beginning
of a new story arc that will continue as an ongoing monthly series, will all
hit store shelves simultaneously on 3/12.
And for the first time ever, every issue of STRAY BULLETS
and all forthcoming digital issues will be available immediately on the Image
Comics website (imagecomics.com ) and the official Image Comics iOS app, as
well as on Comixology on the web (comixology.com ), iOS, Android, and Google
Play. To help readers jump in on the excitement, the first four digital issues
will be offered for free.
"I couldn't be more excited to be back,” said
Lapham. “Stray Bullets is home to me. To the fans who have been asking, and
asking about it for years...I finally have good news for you."
STRAY BULLETS won the 1996 Eisner Award for Best
Writer/Artist, and the trade paperback collection STRAY BULLETS: Innocence of
Nihilism won the 1997 Eisner Award for Best Graphic Album-Reprint. Its
trademark dark, neo-noir themes and nonlinear storytelling have been likened to
the storytelling styles of Quentin Tarantino and David Lynch.
“I’ve been a fan of Stray Bullets since the book first
debuted back in 1995, and working with David and Maria Lapham to bring the book
back at Image is hands down one of the most exciting things I’ve done since
becoming Publisher,” said Eric Stephenson, Publisher at Image Comics. “Stray
Bullets is one of comics’ towering achievements, and I could not be more proud
to be publishing it through Image!”
All three STRAY BULLETS will release on March 12, 2014.
