Tom broke the news yesterday that IDW plans to collect and publish Noel Sickles’ hugely influential comic strip Scorchy Smith next summer. Dean Mullaney’s announcement can be found here:
On the subject of future projects, since we’ve already sent the solicitation info to our book distributor, I can announce that in June 2008, I will release an oversized, 11″ x 11″ hardcover: SCORCHY SMITH AND THE ART OF NOEL SICKLES through IDW. It will contain the complete Sickles Scorchy for the first time ever, plus about 60 pages of Sickles’s magazine and other illustrations.
IDW is already publishing collections of Dick Tracy and Terry and the Pirates, and plans on releasing Harold Gray’s Little Orphan Annie in February.
