Hey everyone! Happy Thanksgiving!
So, full disclosure— this is my favorite holiday. Christmas is great, sure, New Years brings all sorts of reinvigorating energy… but nothing beats this combination of food, weather, family, and football. And even though I haven’t been able to get back to Chicago to celebrate with my family in almost 8 years (!), I still love everything about it.
This year is a really special one for me, too. For the first time ever, I get to introduce my girlfriend to a full, proper Thanksgiving dinner. Last year was her first Thanksgiving (she didn’t grow up in the U.S.) and it was a great warmup. However, with time and energy in short supply, we opted for a bit of a non-traditional menu. But this year? We’re going all out and doing things right, with an epic turkey currently sitting in the fridge that I can’t wait to get in the oven.
Unlike today’s dinner, we’re going to keep this edition a bit light. It’s actually a big week for Black Market Narrative, with C.O.W.L. 1964 #3, Rogue Sun #23 and Moon Man vol. 1 all hitting comic book stores. I’m going to cover those in an upcoming newsletter, but today… it’s all about the main course special.
Almost three years ago exactly, on November 24, 2021, we published Radiant Black #10. The issue was a significant one— for many reasons— but the highlight was our decision to marry a unique concept with a unique format. If you’ve already read the issue, then you know the gist of it— Radiant Black travels into an existential black hole to reach Existence, embarking on a journey to try and save his best friend’s soul.
Fun, right?
…Did you know we made two versions?
If you picked up the regular comic, the volume 2 TPB, or the new Massive-Edition hardcover, then what you read was the standard edition. Don’t worry— we’re super proud of it, and Marcelo, Igor Monti, Michael Busuttil, Becca Carey and I spent a lot of time making sure it was perfect.
But not nearly as much time as we spent on the blacklight version.
Utilizing fluorescent Pantone inks, we designed the Radiant Black #10 Blacklight Edition to be a cosmically one-of-a-kind experience.
Then, In 2023, we followed it up with our even crazier Radiant Black #24 Blacklight Edition.
These “never-to-be-reprinted” editions are rare and have been sold out for several years at this point. But they’re also not the rarest versions.
Our Radiant Black #10 - BMN Exclusive Variant and Radiant Black #24 - BMN Exclusive Variant feature exclusive covers by Marcelo Costa and Jim Mahfood, respectively, and have only ever been available from Black Market Narrative. And I’m not going to lie— they haven’t been cheap.
But today, as we kick off our Black(light) Friday Sale, we’re bringing copies out of the vault and giving you an opportunity to pick them up again— including a small, limited quantity of CGC versions— for a crazy deal.
