Dark Horse Comics is collecting and expanding Moonshadow in a new softcover collection arriving next year.
Moonshadow: The Definitive Edition – Expanded is written by J.M. DeMatteis and Jon J. Muth.
DeMatteis calls Moonshadow “Dickens’ David Copperfield meets Siddhartha in space.” The Eisner Award-nominated definitive edition does not disappoint. An unreliable, romantic narrator takes audiences on a coming-of-age journey that is literally out of this world. Interplanetary, mixed-species, Moonshadow recounts his strange birth, his escape from a deep-space zoo, and his struggles to survive in a war-torn universe. This “fairytale for adults” lives in a space that is both intrinsically introspective of life under the microscope and the fantastical universal truth that life, with all its absurdity and terrors, can be resonant with awe, wonder, and genuine beauty. Satirical, whimsical, and thoughtful, Moonshadow will continue to provoke a love of comics in new and returning readers.
Moonshadow: The Definitive Edition – Expanded arrives on May 6, 2025, with a cover price of $29.99 for the 528-page softcover.
