Gentlemen Prefer Domino Lady

We may finally be in store for some new Black Bat material after a long, long wait.

The long-awaited Black Bat / Domino Lady: Danger Coast To Coast graphic novel is now said to be in stores as of November 25th. I'll believe it when I see it, but I'll certainly be looking for it on Moonstone's website regularly. 

Speaking of Moonstone's website, for quite some time I avoided buying their New Pulp Fiction book, which features a team-up between the Black Bat and the Purple Scar, because of ridiculous shipping charges. It would have cost me roughly four or five times the cost of the book to have it delivered. I assumed that this was due to my Canadian address but United States residents pointed out a similar issue as well on social media. 

If by coincidence you read this and held off buying from Moonstone for the same reason, give them another look. That appears to be fixed on their website now, right on time.

In addition to the above book, our boy also seems set to appear in a new Domino Lady prose anthology next month!

The City of Angels attracts beautiful people from all over the world with its glitz and glamour. But just beneath the surface is a city stinking of corruption seeded by crime and politics. Enraged by the murder of her father, beautiful socialite Ellen Patrick knows she must break all the rules. She has to become somebody else: Domino Lady, of the sexiest and most elusive crime fighters of all time. Guest starring: The Black Bat, The Phantom Detective, The Green Ghost, Zero, Secret Agent X, Ravenwood, and more! Introduction by Nancy Holder!
Comixzone shows a 200 page count for this one (and 160 for Danger Coast to Coast). That delightful cover is the work of Alex Innocenti. I'm assuming this is all new material (Unlike DCTC which is roughly half new, half reprint) but won't know for certain until we're closer to the release date.

Thank you to Bobby Nash for drawing my attention to this on Twitter, I had not known that this book was even in production.
