Backers of the RICK AND MORTY 10th ANNIVERSARY DELUXE OMNIBUS LIBRARY campaign can decide between gorgeously designed, limited-edition box sets in one of three, highly limited variant editions:

But wait, there’s more!

“For the last decade, Oni Press has been publishing time-shattering, space-frolicking, insane comics based on Adult Swim’s seminal adult animated series by some of the best cartoonists working today,” said Oni Press Senior Editor Bess Pallares. “To celebrate this historic occasion, we had no choice but to crank the volume even higher and do something even more outrageous, so we hired two seminal storytellers – writer Kyle Starks and artist Troy Little – to create an UNREPRINTABLE RICK AND MORTY story that will never again be re-printed.”

The brand-new, 16-page UNREPRINTABLE RICK AND MORTY #1 marks the return to the Omniverse for the Eisner Award-nominated writer Kyle Starks (Peacemaker Tries Hard!), who is writing his first new RICK AND MORTY story for a comic in five years. The story is illustrated by Eisner Award nominee and fellow RICK AND MORTY veteran Troy Little (Cult of the Lamb) and features an all-new cover by Little, printed on durable foil cover stock.

“It’s pretty sick,” says Little.

“It really is,” says Starks.

“We should do another story,” says Little.

They did.

THE UNREPRINTABLE RICK AND MORTY #2 by Starks and Little is an exclusive, eight-page postscript to the first issue. “The second UNREPRINTABLE issue exists in a quantum state of even more intense rarity because it’s strictly limited to just 500 copies,” explains Starks.

All told, the RICK AND MORTY 10th ANNIVERSARY DELUXE OMNIBUS LIBRARY campaign features a cornucopia of collectible exclusives, including a brand-new, never-before-seen variant cover for RICK AND MORTY (2015) #1 by artist Dave Bardin (Wolverine), RICK AND MORTY blank variant remarques by Kyle Starks, an authentic RICK AND MORTY original art interior page by Marc Ellerby (Dr. Who), five super-sick Rick and Morty’s Greatest Hits” trading cards” (including a foil “Pickle Rick” card!), a heavy-duty 11×17” giclee art print by artist Tony Fleecs (Stray Dogs), signature plates signed by Kyle Starks, all-new, hand-drawn remarques, and original artwork by Kyle Starks and Marc Ellerby … plus THE UNREPRINTABLE RICK & MORTY #1 and #2.

Oni and WBCP’s RICK AND MORTY 10th ANNIVERSARY DELUXE OMNIBUS LIBRARY deluxe pre-order campaign is now live and features extensive “Day One” discounts for backers who place their pre-order within the first 24 hours.
