The collected edition of this unique, text-free masterwork is almost upon is. If you don’t order a copy in advance we cannot guarantee you’ll be able to get one. More on that below.
STEP BY BLOODY STEP is a fantasy opus from the Eisner Award nominees behind Coda (selection officielle Angouleme 2021) MATIAS BERGARA (Hellblazer, The Scumbag) and SI SPURRIER (X-Men Legacy, Hellblazer, The Spire). It tells the story of a little girl who wakes up one day with nothing. No name. No memory. No language. Nothing…
…except a giant.
Weighing-in at a massive 192 pages, stuffed to the gills with new and exclusive backmatter, script-to-page comparisons and poetic chapter interstitials, this is the most beautiful graphic novel you’ll read this year. A coffee-table artefact. A bookshelf treasure. It’s the ideal gift for any reader of great comics… it’s the ideal cure for a reader of bad comics… it’s the perfect gateway drug for someone who doesn’t yet understand how magical and moving comics can be.
It is, in short, unmissable.
Don’t believe us? Here’s what Literally Every Awesome Creator In The Western Comics World Thinks Of SBBS. You Can’t Argue With This Bunch.
But here’s the thing. The printing industry remains on the ropes. If stores don’t get a healthy chunk of pre-orders the first print run will be smaaaall. And there will quite probably be no subsequent runs to follow. So if you want a copy — even if you’re just interested in having a browse — you must register your interest with your friendly retailer ASAP.
Final orders are due by July 18th. Don’t hang about.
