Lemire’s Black Hammer is Getting the Deluxe Treatment
Black Hammer fans will have another opportunity to visit their favorite superhero farm in the Black Hammer Library Edition Volume 1! Black Hammer Library Edition Volume 1 collects the first chapter of the highly acclaimed, Eisner Award-winning superhero saga in a deluxe, oversized hardcover format from Jeff Lemire (Gideon Falls, Descender) and Dean Ormston (Lucifer, Sandman).
“I couldn’t be prouder of this deluxe library edition,” explained Black Hammer co-creator Jeff Lemire. “I love the world of Black Hammer so much, and I love seeing the stories Dean and I worked so hard to create collected in such a gorgeous volume.”
Mysteriously banished from existence by a multiversal event, the old superheroes of Spiral City now lead simple lives on a bizarre farm from which there is no escape! But as they employ all of their super abilities to free themselves from this strange purgatory, a mysterious stranger works to bring them back into action for one last adventure!
This new edition features a beautiful cover by Dean Ormston with colors by Dave Stewart and collects Black Hammer #1-13, the Giant-Sized Annual, sketchbook extras, and more!

When asked for his thoughts on the new deluxe edition, Black Hammer co-creator Dean Ormston stated, “It makes my brain explode, but in a good way.”
Black Hammer Library Edition Volume 1 goes on sale October 24, 2018. This new edition is 408-pages and retails for $49.99.
