The infamous, hardboiled-erotica series is collected for the first time in a deluxe hardcover omnibus featuring new material. It's been a long, long time... one last time. Collecting for the first time, every stop along the way on Howard Chaykin's transgressively groundbreaking trail, the Black Kiss Omnibus collects the legendary 1988 series, its 2012 sequel Black Kiss2, plus the Black Kiss XXXmas in July Special, and, created just for this volume, the all-new 28-pageBlack Kiss Halloween, which will mark Chaykin's final excursion into this world's hardboiled-erotic noir. Throw in a look back at the project's long history of sensationalism and censorship, plus a large assortment of extras from across nearly four decades, and this 400-page collection will be the definitive shelf-filler that once again makes readers ask that vital question... does it have to be so dirty?
