Regarded as bestselling creator Mark Millar’s masterpiece, “King of Spies” to be presented by Dark Horse in an oversized hardcover edition
Dark Horse Books and prolific storyteller Mark Millar (Civil War, Kingsman) present the revenge thriller King of Spies Library Edition, collecting Millar’s elegant spy story into an oversized hardcover format for collectors and fans of Millarworld. Artist Matteo Scalera (Black Science, Dumb Shark), colorist Giovanna Niro (Orfani, The Bounce), letterer Clem Robins (Hellboy, Y: The Last Man), and design team Ozgur Yildrim (Loki, Night Club) and Eddie Thornton (Nemesis: Reloaded, Night Club) join Millar in King of Spies Library Edition. Featuring cover art by Scalera, the book will arrive in comic shops and bookstores in July 2025. King of Spies left fans speechless as Millar and Scalera took the classic spy story and subverted the entire genre!
Britain’s top secret agent, now in his sixties, discovers he has six months to live. Now, he must choose between a gentle decline or going after everyone he thinks deserves to die. With the state of the world as messy as it is, Sir Roland King has a long list of people he blames for the world’s problems, and those politicians, royals, journalists, and celebrities are about to be rooted out. Before he goes, King wants to upset the status quo and eliminate as much corruption as possible.
With a lifetime of experience, this spy might be impossible to catch. The only man who stands a chance against him? His estranged son, ready to make him pay for abandoning both he and his mother many years ago. This is one standoff you won’t be able to put down.
