LOS ANGELES 08/05/2025 — Today Skybound, in partnership with Act 4 Publishing, announced a campaign for the Kickstarter-exclusive J. Scott Campbell’s Danger Girl Artist’s Edition, which will collect Campbell’s art from the wildly popular series in the Artist’s Edition format for the first time ever. This campaign additionally marks the first Kickstarter collaboration between Skybound and Act 4, led by Act 4 Founder Scott Dunbier—who also served as editor on Danger Girl during its original run.
Fans can sign up for the mailing list now to receive all campaign details and updates ahead of its launch on Tuesday, September 9, 2025, at 6 a.m. PT.
J. Scott Campbell’s Danger Girl Artist’s Edition will collect over 150 pages of the Danger Girl art from the miniseries, as well covers from various Danger Girl books, model sheets, illustrations, flip book art, and more, all in a gorgeous 12” x 17” hardcover Artist’s Edition book. Packed with rare sketches, page breakdowns and commentary, this is the ultimate collector’s edition for fans—a true celebration of Danger Girl. This special edition is only available on Kickstarter and comes with an exclusive, alternate cover.
“Having been a big admirer of Scott Dunbier’s stunning Artist’s Editions for many years, I didn’t think there would ever be an opportunity to offer my past work in this sort of volume,” said J. Scott Campbell. “I am elated that we’ve been able to gather so many amazing scans from numerous collectors to provide fans and art appreciators with this fantastic collection.”
Danger Girl, created by J. Scott Campbell and Andy Hartnell, debuted in 1998, quickly becoming a top-selling title and a standout success. The series solidified J. Scott’s place among the industry’s top artists and marked a key milestone in the growth of the North American comic book market. Offbeat, playful, and action-packed, Danger Girl has proven itself a blast of a series that deserves to be celebrated and collected, from the ‘90s to today.
“As a lover of original comic art, it was always a treat for me when J. Scott Campbell Danger Girl pages would be turned in,” said Scott Dunbier. “Having that front row seat gave me an added perspective of just how talented he is as a storyteller. I’m looking forward to holding this Artist’s Edition In my hands so I can relive that feeling… and you can experience it for the first time.”
These oversized hardcover books will feature an incredible collection of original artwork, spanning covers and interior pages. Each piece has been carefully scanned at full size from J. Scott Campbell’s original drawings. Unless you’re holding Campbell’s originals, there is no better way to experience his art.
Further enhancing the collector’s experience, the Kickstarter campaign also includes an impressive lineup of exclusive rewards: a Kickstarter-exclusive slipcase that houses both books, signed bookplates, prints, shirts, stickers, pins, and more.
“J. Scott Campbell inspired an entire generation of artists, and Danger Girl is his magnum opus,” said Alex Antone, Editorial Director at Skybound. “Every line of this book is bursting with energy, and I personally can’t wait to hold this gorgeous archive of original art in my hands.”
Skybound continues to uphold its reputation as the biggest name in comic book publisher crowdfunding, setting records with the most funded comics campaigns on Kickstarter with The TRANSFORMERS and G.I. JOE: A Real American Hero Compendium Sets, and the most funded webcomic, Ava’s Demon Book Two: Aftermath.
