LOS ANGELES, CA / NEW YORK, NY — June 23, 2025 —DSTLRY, the next-generation publisher redefining creator-owned comic books and collectibles, is thrilled to announce the Special Edition of THE CITY BENEATH HER FEET #1, co-created by James Tynion IV and Elsa Charretier. Arriving in comic shops September 10, this high-end version of the grindhouse hit features a brand-new cover by Charretier and 2025 Eisner nominee colorist Jordie Bellaire, offering fans and collectors new neon eye candy for their library of New York City assassins and chaotic romance. THE CITY BENEATH HER FEET #1: Special Edition weighs in at 56 pages for $8.99, available to order via Penguin Random House. THE CITY BENEATH HER FEET follows Zara, a writer caught in a deadly web of secrets after learning that an unforgettable ex, Jasper Jayne, is a world-class assassin. The Special Edition kicks off the relaunch of the award nominated series that was interrupted by industry setbacks earlier this year. THE CITY BENEATH HER FEET’s adrenaline-doused blend of violence, romance, and infectious dialogue built a vocal fan following and glowing reviews upon its initial release, and this new printing allows curious readers to experience the blockbuster debut before diving into future 48-page chapters in months to come, released in seven-week intervals. “After seeing the initial enthusiasm to THE CITY BENEATH HER FEET, I’m overjoyed to reveal the rest of my love letter to New York, all starting with this new Special Edition,” says co-creator and writer James Tynion IV. “It’s been a joy to revisit Jasper and the streets of Manhattan,” adds co-creator and artist Elsa Charretier. “We can’t wait to unleash more romantic carnage.” “This project has been a dream—playing with the texture and colors of New York City, all through a celluloid sheen of young love,” says 2025 Eisner Award nominee Jordie Bellaire. “THE CITY BENEATH HER FEET embodies everything DSTLRY stands for: daring stories from visionary creators, now with Penguin Random House handling distribution,” says DSTLRY CCO & Co-Founder Chip Mosher. “This series continues to break through the noise with its style, substance, and sheer narrative force,” continues DSTLRY CEO & Co-Founder David Steinberger. “We’re thrilled to bring readers this stunning new printing.” Each issue of THE CITY BENEATH HER FEET is presented in DSTLRY’s perfect-bound Prestige format, featuring wraparound covers with spot gloss on robust cover stock, complemented by exquisite interior stock. “It’s the DSTLRY difference,” says DSTLRY CCO & Co-Founder Chip Mosher.
