Black Heart Billy 25th Anniversary Deluxe Hardcover - Hardcover

by Rick Remender (Author), Kieron Dwyer (Artist), Harper Jaten (Artist)

Limited edition to one printing only!

After decades in comic-book exile, the absurd skatepunk cult classic BLACK HEART BILLY returns, celebrating 25 gloriously questionable years of terrible choices, filthy living, and a long-forgotten punk-rock ideology all wrapped up in the last thing it deserves, a fancy hardcover.

Meet Billy Black: skate-punk misfit with a robotic head, a bottomless supply of sarcastic contempt for society, and terrible impulse control. His life is a never-ending quest for fun, punk rock debauchery, and skating abandoned pools-- until a deranged Nazi scientist decides to bring Adolf Hitler back inside the reanimated corpse of Jerry Garcia. Now, San Francisco is rapidly descending into a fascist hippie nightmare and only Billy, armed with snide disdain, a baseball bat, and reckless disregard for personal safety, can defeat this self-righteous, patchouli soaked, moral authority.

Created by the dynamic duo of RICK REMENDER (GROMMETS, THE SCUMBAG) and KIERON DWYER (SEA OF RED, Captain America), BLACK HEART BILLY is a joyful mash-up of comic absurdity, irreverent satire, and non-stop anarchic action.

This stylish hardcover collects the entire original run in original black & white, plus a treasure trove of previously unseen goodies and a new afterword that Remender probably wrote in a nostalgic delirium.
