The multiple Eisner, Harvey, Ringo, and Hugo Award winning New York Times bestselling series, Monstress by Marjorie Liu and Sana Takeda, hits its milestone 10th anniversary this year. In celebration of this milestone anniversary, fans will be treated to a very special reprint of the iconic Monstress, Vol. 1 trade paperback featuring a luxe gold foil treatment. This will pair nicely with the gorgeous deluxe hardcover editions, the door-stopping Monstress Book One Compendium paperback, and the Monstress, Vol. 10 trade paperback—all on shelves from Image Comics in time for the holidays.

The richly imagined world of Monstress is an alternate 1900s Asia, with an art deco-infused steampunk aesthetic that’s brimming with arcane dangers. Within it, a teenage girl struggles to overcome the trauma of war, a task that’s made all the more difficult by her mysterious psychic link to an eldritch monster of tremendous power—a connection that will transform them both, and place them in the crosshairs of both human and otherworldly powers.

Monstress first launched in 2015 and has gone on to be reprinted many times, has garnered a slew of accolades including multiple Eisner Awards, Harvey Awards, a Hugo Award, World Fantasy Award, and British Fantasy Award. It has snagged spots on Best of Year lists including those of Entertainment Weekly, Newsweek, The Washington Post, Thrillist, Barnes & Noble, Powell’s, and the American Library Association’s YALSA list. Liu broke the glass ceiling in 2016 when she made history as the first woman ever to win an Eisner Award the the Best Writer category for her work on the series.
