DARK HORSE TO RELEASE DELUXE EDITIONS OF THE UMBRELLA ACADEMY LINE

Dark Horse is giving The Umbrella Academy fans an exciting new collectible for their bookshelves with a new line of deluxe editions! Now a Netflix original series with a second season coming soon, The Umbrella Academy by writer Gerard Way and artist Gabriel Bá continues with the collection of The Umbrella Academy Volume 3: Hotel Oblivion, out now, and a special new one-shot, Hazel and Cha Cha Save Christmas: Tales from The Umbrella Academy, coming out in November.

“We’re excited to give our fans the opportunity to further enjoy The Umbrella Academy with this new line of deluxe hardcover editions,” said series creators Gerard Way and Gabriel Bá. “We’re incredibly grateful to our fans for all their support and hope they enjoy these beautiful new books.”

Dark Horse will release The Umbrella Academy Volume 1: Apocalypse Suite Deluxe Edition next spring. This deluxe edition collects the complete Eisner Award-winning series, as well as the short stories ”Mon Dieu!” and ”But the Past Ain’t Through with You.” It also includes a 50-page sketchbook section with art by Gerard Way, Gabriel Bá, James Jean, and designer Tony Ong.
