Scott Dunbier’s Act 4 Publishing, in partnership with Skybound, has announced the upcoming release of Beta Ray Bill by Daniel Warren Johnson Artist’s Edition. A gorgeous, oversized presentation of Daniel Warren Johnson‘s acclaimed Marvel Comics miniseries, this Artist’s Edition arrives in comic shops on February 3, 2027.
This Artist’s Edition collects the complete Beta Ray Bill (2021) miniseries written and illustrated by Eisner Award-winning creator Daniel Warren Johnson, plus an introduction from legendary Thor writer/artist and the creator of Beta Ray Bill, Walter Simonson. Presented in a massive 12”x17” format and spanning 144 pages, the collection gives fans an unprecedented look at Johnson’s kinetic, high-impact artwork alongside the visceral storytelling that made the series an instant modern classic.
Johnson has become one of the most celebrated voices in comics today through critically acclaimed original works like Do A Powerbomb, Murder Falcon, and Extremity, as well as his unforgettable run on TRANSFORMERS. His work on Beta Ray Bill brought Marvel’s beloved cosmic warrior roaring back into prominence in an emotionally charged adventure that pushed the character beyond Thor’s shadow and into a mind-blowing, space-faring epic all his own.
An Artist’s Edition is an art book disguised as a comic collection. Although appearing to be in black and white, all the art is scanned in color, enabling the reader to see the work as close to the original as possible. Ink gradients, blue pencil, and all the unique nuances that make original art so special – are all clearly visible and printed at the same size as drawn. The only better way to experience these pages would be if you were looking over the artist’s shoulder while he was toiling at his drawing board.
Beta Ray Bill by Daniel Warren Johnson Artist’s Edition (ISBN: Coming Soon| SRP $150.00) will be available at comic book shops on Wednesday, February 3, 2027, and at booksellers on Tuesday, March 2, 2027.
