Truly Expanded

This expanded edition of Moonshadow, titled Moonshadow: The Definitive Edition, goes beyond just a new cover by incorporating concept art, early team notes, and script pages from DeMatteis. Moreover, it will include an illustrated novella called Farewell Moonshadow, all of which are not found in the original edition. In essence, this edition aims to deliver a comprehensive experience of Moonshadow in one comprehensive volume

What Is Moonshadow?

DeMatteis likens Moonshadow to the characters David Copperfield by Charles Dickens and Siddhartha in a space setting. The critically acclaimed version lives up to expectations. A narrator with questionable reliability and a romantic flair guides us through an otherworldly journey of personal growth. Moonshadow, a character who traverses planets and species, shares his unusual origin story, his breakout from a cosmic zoo, and his challenges surviving in a universe torn apart by war

This “tale for grown-ups” dwells in a realm that seamlessly blends the intimate examination of life under magnification with the timeless, universal wisdom that even life’s absurdities and fears can evoke a sense of awe, wonder, and authentic beauty. Humorous, playful, and contemplative, Moonshadow captivates both new and returning readers, stirring a lasting love for comics

For the very first time in trade paperback format, “Moonshadow: The Definitive Edition-Expanded” will make its debut, boasting an extensive 528 pages. This comprehensive edition will be available for purchase at a retail price of $29.99 starting May 6th, 2025 in bookstores, with comic shops receiving their stock the following day on May 7th, 2025. You can secure your copy ahead of time by pre-ordering it from your local comic store, bookstores such as Amazon, TFAW, and Barnes & Noble
