Calling all comic lovers and baseball fanatics: All Baseball Comics is debuting a collection of three officially licensed books to expand your collection.
Centered on the thesis that baseball is “the story of America,” the trio of issues features one spotlight on each of the Yankees, Dodgers and Cubs. They are available for preorder now on baseballcomics.com. Issues are listed at $19.99 apiece for standard printed versions, while a signed variant cover is also available for $49.99.
The Yankees issue focuses on how Hall of Famers Babe Ruth and Derek Jeter built a “reputation of excellence.” The Dodgers issue highlights the club’s “progressive outlook on every frontier.” And the Cubs issue celebrates the fanbase’s “unending optimism” during the club’s 108-year World Series drought.
These limited-run comic books are 32 pages each, created by Josh Frankel, CEO of Zero Zero Entertainment. Frankel’s past work includes collaborations with Grateful Dead, Elvis Presley Enterprises and Machine Gun Kelly.
"Baseball has been the one sport I've loved since I was a kid, everything from the long history of the teams to the rhythm of the game, those quiet lulls broken up by the excitement of a home run,” Frankel said in a statement. “It's an honor to combine that with one of my other loves, comic books. I can't wait for fans to see the history of their teams drawn in spectacular detail, and maybe we'll convert a few comic readers into fans of the best sport there is."
