Jim McCann and Janet Lee’s Dapper Men has found a new home - IDW imprint Top Shelf Productions- and with it, a new deluxe-edition release of the Eisner-winning Return of the Dapper Men and an all-new sequel, Time of the Dapper Men.

IDW announced the long-awaited sequel, the second book of a planned trilogy, during New York Comic Con. Time of the Dapper Men is scheduled for summer 2018.

Return of the Dapper Men was originally released by Archaia Entertainment and was nominated for five Eisners in 2011, winning Best Graphic Album – New (see “2011 Eisner Award Winners”). The fairytale world of the Dapper Men exists outside of time and incorporates elements of steampunk, fantasy, and science fiction to weave a visually stunning story.

“Jim and Janet have created a world of wonder that appeals not only to children but to the child inside all of us," said Chris Staros, Top Shelf Productions editor-in-chief. "I’m very pleased to be working with them as they bring the world of the Dapper Men to new life at Top Shelf.”
