All Upcoming Dark Horse Art and World Books (June 2021 – March 2022)
UPDATE: A more recent list of Dark Horse Art and World Books is now available. Click here to view our updated list.
There are few beautiful new books coming from Dark Horse in the future. To simplify what to expect, we created a list of all Dark Horse art and world books currently set for release between today and March of 2022. This list details the contents and release date for each collection.
Readers should keep in mind that solicitations like these often undergo changes before release. Contents, release dates, and collection sizes could all be altered before the book comes out, or the book could be canceled altogether. This means that this list is likely to be what is released in the future, but nothing is guaranteed.
