DC will release a new deluxe edition collecting the Manhunter stories by Archie Goodwin and Walt Simonson in January.  The stories in Manhunter by Archie Goodwin and Walter Simonson Deluxe Edition, colored by another hot young artist of the day, Klaus Janson, originally appeared as back-up features in Detective Comics, beginning in November of 1973, and ended in a team-up with Batman in Detective Comics #443.  Spoiler alert: the storyline culminates in a rarity in comics, the un-retconned death of the character.  This collection also includes a silent epilogue story released in 1999, after Goodwin’s death.

All three of the creative talents on these stories went on to long and storied careers after this work, which was considered an early high point for both Goodwin and Williamson.

Manhunter by Archie Goodwin and Walter Simonson Deluxe Edition, a 112-page hardcover, will carry a $17.99 MSRP.  On sale January 26, 2021.
