SPY SEAL GETS A SLICK PAPERBACK THIS JANUARY
Collecting issues #1-4 in an oversized deluxe format
PORTLAND, OR, 11/30/2017 — Critically acclaimed cartoonist Rich Tommaso (SHE WOLF, DARK CORRIDOR) will release a trade paperback collection of his espionage tale SPY SEAL this January.
Visually reminiscent of such classic comics as The Adventures of Tintin and Usagi Yojimbo, SPY SEAL welcomes readers into the thrilling world of international espionage.
One of Britain's most covert MI-6 divisions, the Nest, has recruited a brand-new secret agent to their team: Spy Seal! Follow the newbie spy and his furred and feathered colleagues on exciting train rides, high-speed car chases, high-flying air adventures, and down secret underground tunnels, all in an effort to hunt down a dangerous British-turned-Soviet double agent—a slippery spy who poses as an upscale art dealer while covertly killing off important figures of Parliament.
SPY SEAL, VOL. 1 (Diamond code: NOV170686, ISBN: 978-1-5343-0479-6) hits comic book stores Wednesday, January 24th. The final order cutoff deadline for comics retailers is Monday, December 11th.
It will be available in bookstores Tuesday, January 30th and is available for preorder via Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Indiebound, and Indigo.

“The boldness in SPY SEAL’s earnest commitment to its world and its sense of style,
aped from the classic adventure comics we read as children, speaks to its strength, no
matter how loopy its premise is. SPY SEAL just goes with it, with all the grace and
simplicity of its own title. And because if it, it’s one of the most charming and delightful
new comics I’ve read in a while.” —iO9
