As we celebrate 50 years of Hip Hop, Fantagraphics is releasing Ed Piskor’s Hip Hop Family Tree in a new omnibus edition.
“Being a cartoonist means that my books are my babies and for one of them to have a life beyond 10 years is an absolute blessing,” said Piskor in a press release from Fantagraphics. “Given the fact that it’s also the 50th anniversary of Hip Hop culture it was essential for us to bring about the best presentation possible for the material. I couldn’t be happier.”
The HIP HOP FAMILY TREE OMNIBUS features over140 pages of extra material, a foreword by WILD STYLE director Charlie Ahearn, an afterword by esteemed hip hop journalist Bill Adler, new annotations of the entire series by Piskor, a comprehensive cover gallery, and much more. The book’s publication this fall will mark the very first time that the influential series has been collected under one cover.
Hip Hop Family Tree Omnibus Edition is scheduled to arrive in stores on October 17, 2023.
