Image Comics has announced that on September 23, Brian K. Vaughan (Saga) and artist Niko Henrichon will be releasing their gorgeous Spectators in a hardcover compendium. Spectators was first available in Vaughan’s Substack newsletter. But this isn’t the first time the two have worked together; almost two decades have passed since the pair teamed up for the award-winning Pride of Baghdad.

Here’s more from a press release from Image Comics:

Now, Spectators promises to put the “graphic” back in graphic novel and will feature an unconventional supernatural romance, a critical exploration of sex and violence, and a deep dive into the very different ways we obsessively watch both.

Set hundreds of years in the future, New York City is haunted by many ghosts, including a voyeuristic woman who died in our present day and a mysterious gun-toting man from the distant past. Normally solo travelers, these two specters meet each other just in time to observe what might be the end of the (living) world.

“Spectators is a story I’ve wanted to tell my whole career, and after more than three years of meticulous hand-painting by genius co-creator Niko Henrichon, we’re excited to finally share our epic standalone graphic novel with all of you mature readers out there,” said Vaughan. “This is a spicy one, so thanks for supporting the retailers who bravely support comics for adults!”

Henrichon added: “The bold and unconventional script of this comic book challenged my artistic boundaries like never before. It was an exhilarating experience and a true honor to create artwork for such a distinctive story.”
