Image Comics is to republish Saga by Brian K Vaughan and Fiona Staples in a six inch by nine inch format beginning in September, with new cover art by Fiona Staples, aimed at the YA bookstore market, in a format that has proved successful for graphic novels from other publishers. The series will still remain available in single issue, standard trim size trade paperback, deluxe hardcover, digital versions, and compendium trade paperback editions. As June’s Image Comics solicitations still doesn’t include new issues of Saga…
“How cool is it to see Fiona revisiting our heroes at the beginning of their journey? While Fiona and I are hard at work on new chapters of Saga, we hope these lovely editions from Image will help introduce a whole new audience to the ongoing adventures of Hazel and her star-crossed family,” said Vaughan.
So expect a whole new audience to get outraged by the sex scenes and the dragon penis all over again. Or at least activist parents and politicians. Saga, Vol. 1 paperback edition 6×9 will be published from Tuesday, the 24th of September.
