Dynamite Entertainment announced today that they have rescheduled the first TPB release of Eduardo Risso’s Borderline. The first trade collection (of a projected four total trades) will now be available in September. Fans and retailers can pre-order now from their local retailer!
“The work is so very, very powerful that we absolutely have to get it just right,” explained Dynamite Spokesperson J. Allen. “That being said, our first attempt to get it out the door didn’t come together, so we rescheduled, brought in an additional writer (translator/scriptor) to help out and editor just for the project, and BAM! – look out September!”
For the first volume, Dynamite has secured the services of creator Ivan Brandon to provide the translation and script inspired by the original language version of Trillo and Risso. Brandon also serves as editor of the series, working closely with Risso to insure that this English-language version remains true to the original.
“We’re lucky to have Ivan on board and hope his schedule allows us to work with him on future volumes,” comment Allen. “He’s able to seamlessly work in the original Spanish language of the text and pull out the necessary grit to make this thing sing in English.”
Pre-Order your copy today from your local comics shop and look for Borderline Volume 1 in September!
BORDERLINE VOLUME I TPB (JUN063028) -- By Eduardo Risso and Carlos Trilo; w/Ivan Brandon!
Pulp noir in the tradition of Sin City and 100 Bullets from creator/artist Eduardo Risso!
Known for his moody powerful artwork Eduardo Risso has commanded a legion of fans from his work on 100 Bullets (with writer Brian Azzarello who also provides and exclusive intro to this collection) and Batman among others.
But until now fans have never experienced the raw power and vision of Borderline (with writer Carlos Trillo)!
Borderline, originally published in Italy, is a 600-page epic created by Risso and Trillo with whom the artist has previously worked on a slate of other projects. This powerful piece of graphic fiction has never before been available in the United States in English.
Now Borderline -- described by Harvey and Eisner Award winning creator Risso as a sci-fi post-apocalyptic story that openly shows the miseries and kindness of Humankind -- is available in English for the first time from Dynamite Entertainment.
Volume 1 weighs in at an impressive 160 pages filled with Risso's gorgeous artwork and Trillo's fantastic ideas – plus a script translation overseen by Risso and creator Ivan Brandon! This is a must-have for every fan of comics and art!
Dynamite plans to support this release with house ads, online ads through Newsarama, and prints ads in Comic Shop News!
