Humanoids to Publish Comics Anthology Simultaneously in Four Countries
Graphic novel publisher Humanoids plans to publish The Tipping Point, a comics anthology featuring 13 acclaimed comics artists from around the world, in a deluxe hardcover edition to be published simultaneously in four countries in January 2016.
The anthology will feature such acclaimed artists as Eddie Campbell, Paul Pope, Naoki Urasawa, and Bob Fingerman as well as a cover image by the legendary Euro-comics artist Enki Bilal (The Nikopol Triology). The book will be released in January simultaneously in the U.S., the U.K., France and Japan.
The Tipping Point will feature original works by all the artists including slice-of-life tales, science-fiction, humor, fantasy and more. Each of the works has been written and drawn by the individual artist and the stories are based around the theme of “the tipping point.”
The book will be released in a hardcover edition for $29.95 and in an ultra-deluxe hardcover edition in a slipcover in a limited edition of 100 for $499.
Humanoids’ publisher, Fabrice Giger said, “Humanoids, since its very inception 40years ago, has always had a leitmotif of building bridges between American comic books, Japanese manga, and European bande dessinée to help them inspire each other—or better yet, to cross-pollinate. The Tipping Point does just that, and features some of the medium’s best creators working today.”
