Dark Horse Comics has announced it will publish a deluxe edition of Oldboy, by Garon Tschuya and Nobuaki Minegishi.  The new edition will collect the entire series, originally eight volumes, into two 848-page, 7" x 10" hardcover volumes with silver foil covers.  The first volume will be released in bookstores on January 6, 2026, and in comic shops on January 7, and the second will be released in bookstores on March 24 and in comic shops on March 27; MSRP for each volume is $69.99, a considerable increase over the $49.99 list price of Dark Horse’s best-selling Berserk deluxe editions.

The story of a man who seeks revenge on the captor who locked him away in a private prison for a decade, Oldboy was originally published in Japan in 1996-98 and first published in the U.S. by Dark Horse in 2006-07 (see “Dark Horse to Focus on Horror Manga”).  It won the 2007 Eisner Award for Best U.S. Edition of International Material. Korean director Park Chan-wook’s film adaptation won the 2004 Grand Jury Prize in Cannes, and Spike Lee directed an American remake in 2013 (see “‘Oldboy’ Red-Band Trailer”).

Dark Horse recently announced a deluxe edition of the classic manga Lone Wolf and Cub (see “Dark Horse Gives ‘Lone Wolf and Cub’ the Deluxe Treatment”).
