Meticulously Designed, Deluxe Boxes – Available in Both Color and B&W – to Feature Six Remastered Hardcover Editions, Plus Behind-the-Scenes Bonus Volume, Exclusive Art Prints, Posters, Sticker Sheets, and More!
PORTLAND, OR (February 1st, 2023) — Oni Press, the multiple Eisner and Harvey award-winning publisher of best-selling comic books and graphic novels since 1997, is proud to unveil the first look inside the SCOTT PILGRIM 20th ANNIVERSARY COLOR HARDCOVER BOX SET and SCOTT PILGRIM 20th ANNIVERSARY B&W HARDCOVER BOX SET – featuring all-new, never-before-seen artwork by the series’ Eisner Award-winning creator, Bryan Lee O’Malley, with colors by Eisner Award winner Nathan Fairbairn and design by Eisner Award nominee Patrick Crotty.
Available in both color and newly remastered black and white – preserving the series' original vision in hardcover for the very first time – each SCOTT PILGRIM 20th ANNIVERSARY BOX SET will come packaged in deluxe, clamshell collector's boxes that come packed with new art and limited-edition bonus items specifically created in celebration of the SCOTT PILGRIM series’ 20th anniversary. Debuting in comic shops and bookstores everywhere in August 2024 – exactly 20 years after the debut of the series’ first volume, Scott Pilgrim’s Precious Little Life, in August 2004 – each box set will feature:
Six newly remastered hardcovers featuring brand-new cover art by Bryan Lee O'Malley with colors by Nathan Fairbairn
A seventh hardcover compendium collecting all of the series’ behind-the-scenes process art and “making of” material with commentary by Bryan Lee O’Malley Scott Pilgrim: Collected Extras
Wraparound SP20 box set design and clamshell collector’s case designed by Patrick Crotty
Curated by Bryan Lee O’Malley himself, the debut of the SCOTT PILGRIM 20th ANNIVERSARY BOX SETS offers the definitive statement on O’Malley’s multiple Eisner Award-winning, New York Times best-selling comic book epic in the wake of the chart-topping, worldwide debut of Netflix’s SCOTT PILGRIM TAKES OFF! – the hugely acclaimed, anime reconceptualization of the SCOTT PILGRIM series co-written and produced by O’Malley alongside BenDavid Grabinski. The series, which debuted in November 2023, was recently awarded “Best Animated Series” at the 2024 Critics Choice Awards.
“We've all been working hard on these box sets, which I think are such a complicated project and interesting challenge,” said Bryan Lee O’Malley. “It's been fun working with the legend Patrick Crotty and my buddy Nathan Fairbairn, and the folks at Oni Press are doing a great job. I hope everyone likes the end results!”
“This box set is an experience from top to bottom, inside and out,” said Sierra Hahn, Oni Press Editor-in-Chief. “Bryan and Patrick have created something that faithfully honors Scott Pilgrim fans as well anyone who loves exceptional, fun storytelling and is obsessive about graphic design. I can’t wait for readers, new and old, to behold this incredible tome this summer!”
Following the release of the SCOTT PILGRIM 20th ANNIVERSARY BOX SETS in August 2024, SP20 – the yearlong celebration of the SCOTT PILGRIM series across 2024 – will continue with the release of the first-ever SCOTT PILGRIM 20th ANNIVERSARY PRINT PORTFOLIO – featuring a collection of classic and new images, personally selected by O'Malley – plus a new SCOTT PILGRIM 20th ANNIVERSARY COLORING BOOK, limited-run merchandise, and more to be revealed in the weeks and months ahead.
