Act 4 Publishing and Skybound are taking J. Scott Campbell’s Danger Girl Artist’s Edition to Kickstarter. Act 4’s Scott Dunbier will curate the collection — and not only that, Dunbier was the editor on Danger Girl during the original run, so he knows a little something about the book.
“Having been a big admirer of Scott Dunbier’s stunning Artist’s Editions for many years, I didn’t think there would ever be an opportunity to offer my past work in this sort of volume,” said Campbell via press release. “I am elated that we’ve been able to gather so many amazing scans from numerous collectors to provide fans and art appreciators with this fantastic collection.”
The Kickstarter will officially open on Tuesday, September 9 at 9 am ET, but what can one expect from the book? Well, I’ll tell you. J. Scott Campbell’s Danger Girl Artist’s Edition will collect 150 pages of comics, model sheets, illustrations, flip book art and more, and all presented in a 12″ by 17″ format. In addition, per the Artist’s Edition format, each of the pages has been scanned from the original artwork at full size, so it’s the closest thing to holding Campbell’s art in your hands.
“As a lover of original comic art, it was always a treat for me when J. Scott Campbell Danger Girl pages would be turned in,” said Dunbier. “Having that front row seat gave me an added perspective of just how talented he is as a storyteller. I’m looking forward to holding this Artist’s Edition In my hands so I can relive that feeling… and you can experience it for the first time.”
The Kickstarter exclusive edition will also offer additional rewards, per PR: “a Kickstarter-exclusive slipcase that houses both books, signed bookplates, prints, shirts, stickers, pins, and more.”
The campaign will be live from September 9, through Wednesday October 8 at 3pm ET.
