I am thrilled to announce the upcoming publication of
Maximum Minimum Wage, a massive 9 X 12 hardcover incorporating
Beg the Question, plus the original 72-page “pilot” graphic novel,
Minimum Wage: Book One and the first chapter of its serial run (”Realty Gap”), which wasn’t included in BTQ (for stylistic reasons). All that, plus a color section featuring the cover art from the comic books, sketches and a gallery section of pinups, including all-new ones by Guy Davis, Dave Johnson, Peter Bagge, Dean Haspiel and classic pinups by Mike Mignola, Kevin Nowlan, Dave Cooper, Jill Thompson and more. It will also include surprise bonus material (the “DVD extras,” if you will) to be announced later). This will be THE definitive edition, boasting many newly redrawn panels (and some whole pages), bringing the art up to my current standards. Some of the dialogue has been tweaked, too (as I think I have improved as a writer in the intervening years). It will be released early Spring 2013, from Image Comics, under the aegis of longtime
MW fan, friend and comics bigwig, Robert (
The Walking Dead) Kirkman. The whole package will weigh in at approximately
372 pages! I am currently working on designing the cover. Here’s a tease. Stay tuned!
