PRESS RELEASE
Skybound, in partnership with Scott Dunbier’s Act 4 Publishing, announced today that one of the most important DC comics series of all time will release in the award-winning Artist’s Edition format as George Pérez’s The New Teen Titans Artist’s Edition arrives in stores June 2026.
Continuing a multi-book deal with DC, George Pérez’s The New Teen Titans Artist’s Edition gives a unique view into how the Teen Titans came to be, featuring a large selection of the artist’s original art, including beautiful covers and a curated selection of pages from issues #1-40 of The New Teen Titans. A heartfelt introduction by Pérez’s longtime collaborator and New Teen Titans co-creator, Marv Wolfman, headlines this stunning 12” x 17” hardcover edition.
“George Pérez’s work struck a chord with fans. His craftsmanship and beautiful imagery showed, to me, his true love of drawing–you could feel the care he put into his art,” said Scott Dunbier. “George’s work is long overdue for an Artist’s Edition and I’m happy it is finally happening.”
A true turning point in comic book history, Marv Wolfman and George Pérez created a massive hit for DC when The New Teen Titans arrived on comic shop shelves in 1980. The team of Robin, Starfire, Wonder Girl, Raven, Kid Flash, Cyborg, and Beast Boy stole readers’ hearts, rivaling even the X-Men for preeminence in the comic market.
“George Pérez is one of the greatest storytellers of my lifetime,” said Sean Mackiewicz, SVP, Publisher, Skybound. “This volume captures his masterful linework like never before, with all the dazzling detail, heartwarming (and heartbreaking) emotion, and awe-inspiring action he rendered on the board.”
An Artist’s Edition is an art book disguised as a comic collection. Although appearing to be in black and white, all the art is scanned in color, enabling the reader to see the work as close to the original as possible – ink gradients, blue pencil, and all the unique nuances that make original art so special – are all clearly visible and printed at the same size as drawn. The only better way to experience these pages is by looking at the artist’s drawing board, as they’re drawing.
George Pérez’s The New Teen Titans Artist’s Edition is the next chapter of the groundbreaking releases from the Act 4 Publishing and Skybound partnership. The previously announced releases include titles releasing in late 2025 (Jim Aparo’s DC Classics Artist’s Edition) and throughout 2026 (The Amazing Spider-Man by Steve Ditko Artist’s Edition, Darwyn Cooke’s The Complete Spirit Connoisseur Edition, Wally Wood’s EC Stories Artist’s Edition- EXPANDED and Mike Mignola’s Hellboy in Hell Book 2 Artist’s Edition).
Future releases within the publishing partnership include J. Scott Campbell’s Danger Girl Artist Edition, Dave Stevens’ Covers and Stories’ Connoisseur Edition, Jason Pearson’s Body Bags Artist’s Edition, Paul Smith’s Leave It to Chance Artist’s Edition. Publishing details for these books will be announced in the future.
George Pérez’s The New Teen Titans Artist’s Edition (ISBN 978-1-5343-3135-8 | SRP $150.00) will be available at comic book shops on Wednesday, June 17, 2026, and at booksellers on Tuesday, June 30, 2026.
