The Dark Horse 100 front cover for Zero Killer #1

When the first issue of Zero Killer came out, some time during last geological epoch, Dark Horse decided to make it a Dark Horse 100 title.

"What is Dark Horse 100?" you ask? Why, it's a promotional contest for comics retailers. They enter for a chance of getting 100 ultra-rare front covers of a particular title, in this case, Zero Killer #1.

Matt Camp really outdid himself for this. It's a beautiful drawing of Stark, just before she gets jumped by the Black Cats at the opening of Zero Killer #1. It's a wrap-around, too! The back is just as cool as the front. You can see a small version of the entire thing on the Zero Killer site, right here.

Anyway, I just bought a few of these online; I try to have copies of everything I've ever done. One of the places I ordered from was Titan Comics in Dallas, Texas. When the copy arrived in the mail, there was a nice little note on the inside packaging from Erin, the shipping manager over there.

No – thank you!

Gee! Erin, thanks so much! The two-year delay in between Issues 3 and 4 was just bruuuutal. But it's heartening to know there are people out there who actually care about ZK.

The good news is we're gonna be doing a collection. If sales are good enough, I might even do another series. So there's hope.

As soon as the ZK collection is official, I'll announce it here, and from subway platforms and street corners everywhere.
