Tom Siddell’s acclaimed web series comes to Dark Horse
Dark Horse Books presents Gunnerkrigg Court Volume 1. The NCS/Reuben award-winning webcomic by Tom Siddell will now be collected in an omnibus paperback volume containing the first two books of the original series, Orientation and Research. The series is written, illustrated and colored by Siddell and features new cover art as well as updated interior art. Dark Horse will also present a stunning hardcover limited-edition of 1000 copies, which features a signed and numbered tip-in page.
After the death of her mother and the disappearance of her father, a young girl arrives at a mysterious boarding school. While the curriculum seems to be focused on advancing science and technology, Antimony “Annie” Carver quickly discovers that the grounds are home to plenty of things that science can’t explain: ghosts, supernatural phenomena, and even the gods of the neighboring forest. Along with her friend Kat, Annie begins to unravel the mysteries of her new home, Gunnerkrigg Court, which may not actually be a school after all.
“Anyone with a taste for mystery, an eye for the fantastic and strange, The Court welcomes you,” says creator Tom Siddell. “I’m really excited for readers, new and old, to get their hands on the best version of Gunnerkrigg, from a publisher whose work I’ve been enjoying for decades!”
The Gunnerkrigg Court Volume 1 trade paperback edition and limited-edition hardcover edition each contain 586 pages and measure 6.625 x 10.1875″. The book will be available November 5, 2024 in bookstores and November 6, 2024 in comic shops. It is available for pre-order now on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, TFAW and at your local comic shop and bookstore and will retail for $29.99 for the standard edition and $79.99 for the limited-edition.

Praise for Gunnerkrigg Court:
“I was thrilled to hear that my favorite webcomic was going to be collected on paper. I wish that Antimony Carver and her adventures and mysteries and myths, not to mention her school, had been around when I was a boy to shape and warp and twist my growing mind – but I don’t think you could ever grow too old to delight in Gunnerkrigg Court.”—Neil Gaiman (Good Omens, Sandman, Coraline)
