SAN DIEGO COMIC-CON ANNOUNCEMENT:
DYNAMITE ENTERTAINMENT ANNOUNCES THE LATEST HARDCOVER
COLLECTION IN JIM BUTCHER'S THE DRESDEN FILESGRAPHIC NOVEL SERIES: WILD CARD
An Original Story Set Within The Dresden Files' Official Continuity,
Exclusive to the Graphic Novel Format

July 20, 2016, Mt. Laurel, NJ: Jim Butcher's The Dresden Files saga continues in Wild Card, an original and in-continuity graphic novel by Jim Butcher, co-writer Mark Powers, and artist Carlos Gomez, featuring a story set after the bestselling novel White Night and graphic novel Down Town! Previously available only as single issues of a comic book series, the Wild Card storyline is now collected for the first time in Regular and Limited Signed Edition hardcover formats (priced at $24.99 and $39.99, respectively), with cover artwork by Stjepan Sejic (Switch).

From the back cover description of this upcoming hardcover collection: "A bizarre double murder draws the interest of Chicago's only wizard-for-hire. But as Harry Dresden begins his investigation, the clues lead to troubling conclusions about the possible perpetrator, and set him on a path that will place him in the middle of a conflict between the city's three most powerful factions -- a conflict that could engulf all of Chicago!"

"Wild Card is basically Harry Dresden vs. the Joker, more or less, although in this case, he's called Puck. ‘Cause Puck is an awful person, he really is, in The Dresden Files. He doesn't run around being cool; he's terrible... and fun," says Jim Butcher.

"Our ongoing partnership with author Jim Butcher on his Dresden Files series continues to be well received by his fiction audience and comics fans alike," says Dynamite CEO and Publisher, Nick Barrucci. "When we got the script for Wild Card, its twists and turns were every bit as unpredictable as someone whose hand includes its namesake playing card. You can tell that Wild Card is some of the most fun he has had writing stories for comics so far!"

Jim Butcher's The Dresden Files: Wild Card hardcover will be distributed to booksellers like Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Books-A-Million, and Indigo, via Dynamite's partnership with Diamond Book Distributors. For comic book specialty stores, Wild Card will be solicited in Diamond Comic Distributors' August 2016 Previews catalog, corresponding to release in October. Fans are encouraged to reserve copies with their local comic book retailers or bookstores. The Dresden Files: Wild Card will also be available for individual customer purchase through digital platforms courtesy of Comixology, Dynamite Digital, iVerse, and Dark Horse Digital.
