'Strange Girl' Celebrates 20th Anniversary with Deluxe Hardcover Reprint and New Cover

“Redemption, demons, magic spells, hopelessness, friendship and belly shirts. Rick Remender takes a loving, nostalgic look at the coming apocalypse.” —Patton Oswalt

The complete, boundary-pushing, bestselling comic book series Strange Girl—by New York Times bestselling writer/creator Rick Remender (Napalm Lullaby, Deadly Class, LOW), alongside powerhouse artists Eric Nguyen (X-Men: First Class), Jerome Opeña (The Avengers, The Punisher, Seven to Eternity), and Peter Bergting (Frankenstein: New World)—will be brought back to print in one deluxe hardcover edition this December and join the Giant Generator line at Image Comics. This magnificent reprint will collect all 19 issues of the series, featuring breathtaking new cover artwork by Nguyen, and hit shelves just in time to celebrate its 20th anniversary.

A bare-knuckle, action-driven series, peppered with social commentary and dark humor, Remender’s critically acclaimed indie hit is a must-read for fans of Preacher, Tank Girl, The Sandman, and Doctor Strange.

Set ten years after the Rapture, Strange Girl follows a fleeing occultist and her pet demon when they embark on a high-octane road trip toward the fabled remaining gateway into Heaven. Surviving long enough to get there is going to take grit and all the help she can get. Winning over God to finally escape Hell on Earth is going to take a miracle.

Strange Girl is a story about the contradictory nature of religion, what would happen if the dark future predicted by many came true, and what a good person would endure for not having faith in advance of it.

Strange Girl deluxe hardcover edition (ISBN: 9781534344006) will be available at local comic book shops on Wednesday, December 18, and at independent bookstores, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Books-a-Million, Indigo, and Waterstones on Tuesday, December 31.

Strange Girl will also be available across many digital platforms, including Amazon Kindle, Apple Books, and Google Play.

“Blends theological questions with fast-paced action and a hefty dose of pop-culture references…The humor weaves itself through a fun adventure that feels a bit like a Pixar movie from the pits of Hell.” —IGN
