NOW SHIPPING! Celebrate the genius and artistry of Tim Sale with one of his earliest published works, Billi 99.

Found this at my local comic shop today, Billi 99 was originally a 4 issue book published by Dark Horse Comics in 1991, back when Y2K and 9/11 and the Patriot Act seemed oh, man, so far away!

“Set in 1999, Billi 99 embodies a cautionary tale in which corporate greed and corrupt government affected an America very much like our own today. With that, they posed the question, what is power when everything has been taken away?”

Nominated for 3 Eisner awards, the book is written by Sarah Byam and illustrated by Tim Sale…

At that time though, he was relatively unknown, having done a very good graphic novel adaptation of the Thieves World books.

Now with brand new color artwork by José Villarrubia.
