DARK
HORSE ANNOUNCES TWO ALL-NEW EDITIONS OF FRANK MILLER AND
WALTER
SIMONSON’S CLASSIC
ROBOCOP
VS. THE TERMINATOR SERIES!
MILWAUKIE, OR, FEBRUARY
21—Nearly twenty years after its
first publication, the classic four-issue miniseries that teamed two great
characters with two great creators, Frank Miller and Walter Simonson’s
RoboCop versus The Terminator, returns to print in two formats: a
hardcover graphic novel and a gallery edition!
Comics’
greatest creators pit the supreme machine killer against the ultimate cybernetic
cop in one of the most celebrated crossovers ever! When fate reveals that the
technology that built RoboCop will lead to the creation of Skynet, Alex Murphy
must engage in time-twisting battle against both the murderous computer network
and the human resistance fighters out to destroy him! This newly restored
collection features remastered colors from Steve Oliff and an introduction by
2 Guns writer Steven Grant!
The super deluxe RoboCop
verus The Terminator Gallery Edition ushers
in Dark Horse’s new gallery series format—reprinting Walter Simonson’s original
art at full size, exactly as it appeared on his drawing table! Relive Simonson
and writer Frank Miller’s seamless blend of the RoboCop and
Terminator worlds while marveling at the sheer virtuosity of Simonson’s
draftsmanship in all its original glory.
In
addition to the full story, the gallery edition provides the greatest insight
available into Simonson’s process, with pages of his original pencils and
promotional art faithfully reproduced, along with a revealing foreword by the
artist himself!
“When Frank first sent
me the story for the series, I loved it. And it was both a treat and a challenge
to try to bring it to life in pictures,” said Walter Simonson. “I couldn’t be
more pleased to see RoboCop versus The Terminator back in print after all
these years. I can only hope that a new generation of readers will take as much
delight in discovering the series as we took in creating
it.”
The
RoboCop versus The Terminator hardcover graphic novel collection arrives
on sale at finer comic shops everywhere on July 2, 2014, for $24.99. The gallery
edition will be available on July 9 for $125.00.
