IDW Publishing has announced that it will publish collected editions of the Grimjack comics originally published by First Comics back in the '80s (now that they're freed from legal entanglements, see 'Grimjack Freed'), as well as a new six-issue comic series by the original creators, writer John Ostrander and artist Tim Truman, beginning early next year.

The first Grimjack trade paperback will collect the backup stories originally published in Starslayer, along with the book-length Grimjack/Starslayer crossover.  Ostrander and Truman will also provide a new eight-page story for this trade paperback collection, with Truman painting a new cover.
