A DAME TO DIE FOR IN
FATALE: DELUXE EDITION
Hardcover edition of the Eisner-nominated series out in March from Image Comics
Josephine is everything a femme fatale
should be—beautiful, alluring, dangerous. And she’s also cursed. The
heroine of the Image Comics series FATALE by Ed Brubaker (VELVET, Captain America: The Winter Soldier) and Sean Phillips (Criminal)
is irresistible to men, who will do anything to be with her once
they’ve fallen under her spell, inevitably leading to their ruin and
unimagined horrors. Immortal, Josephine must bear witness to their
suffering again and again as she struggles to unravel the mystery of her
own existence.
A lush combination of crime noir and Lovecraftian horror, FATALE was
nominated for five Eisner Awards in 2013 (Best Continuing Series, Best
New Series, Best Writer, Best Penciller/Inker, Best Cover Artist). And
now Image Comics is proud to announce a special hardcover edition that
collects the first ten issues of the critically acclaimed series. In
this first volume, Josephine’s quest will lead her into the depths of an
ancient evil, a path that takes her from 1950s San Francisco, where
crooked cops hide deeper evils, to mid-'70s L.A., where burnt-out actors
and ex-cult groupies are caught in a web around a Satanic snuff film.
Fatale: Deluxe Edition Volume One
is a 288-page full color, oversized hardbound book, packed with
behind-the-scenes extras from the creative team, including art, stories,
sketches, and layouts. The collection will also include several essays
on genre fiction by Jess Nevins, which previously appeared only in the
single issues.
FATALE
creators Brubaker and Phillips made news in January when they announced
a revolutionary five-year publishing deal with Image Comics at the
publisher’s Image Expo event. Image Comics, the largest independent
comic book publisher in the United States, will be the sole publisher of
the team’s work, giving the the longtime collaborators freedom to
develop whatever new projects they choose. After FATALE ends at issue
#24, their first new work will be THE FADE OUT, a crime story set in
1940s Hollywood.
