THE FADE OUT Deluxe Edition, Due October 12th.
In Image's August solicitations, which was released at the end of last month, we find an advance solicitation for the latest -- and much-anticipated -- deluxe edition from Brubaker and Phillips, a single-volume collection of The Fade Out.
The cover art originally appeared in the oversized movie-magazine variant for issue #1, and here it appears without the effects that seemed to age and weather the cover. And, it appears this deluxe edition has at least thirty extra pages of content, at least going by Amazon's page counts for the three trade paperback collections.
Of all of Brubaker and Phillips' collaborations, my favorite remains Criminal, with Sleeper a very close second, but with every reread -- and especially with my lengthy look back at the series -- my esteem has continued to rise for this sprawling noir novel and its look at the corruption behind Hollywood's postwar Golden Age.
I'm quite looking forward to this release and to rereading this series, all in a single volume that best serves the story and in the deluxe format the story deserves.
...and we hope that our discovering this solicit today might be an omen for the Eisner Awards tomorrow night: The Fade Out has been nominated for Best Limited Series, with Brubaker and Breitweiser getting nods for their respective work writing and coloring.
UPDATE, JULY 23RD. And it won, Best Limited Series!
THE FADE OUT DELUXE EDITION HC(It has been overshadowed by the news surrounding Velvet and especially Kill Or Be Killed, we didn't see any mentions on Twitter or in Brubaker's newsletter, and our own personal lives have been quite busy with only three blog posts in June or July, but we still can't believe we overlooked this.)
