Oni Press has announced the reprinting of Ted Naifeh's Courtney Crumrin.
The series will appear in colour for the first time in the hardcover Courtney Crumrin, Volume 1: The Night Things - Special Edition to celebrate the tenth anniversary of the publisher's series.
"Readers love Courtney Crumrin for how vividly Ted renders the magical world he has dreamed up," said Oni Press editor Jill Beaton.
"The original versions were wonderful and Ted is one of those cartoonists who really understands how to use black ink on a white page.
"Despite the level of detail, he avoided over-rendering his drawings, meaning that the work is still open and has room to breathe. It also means there is space for colour. Warren is highlighting what is already there, filling in an extra dimension that previously was left to the reader."
Courtney Crumrin tells the tale of the eponymous young girl who discovers a world of magic after going to live with her Uncle Aloysius.
Naifeh is remastering the material with colourist Warren Wucinich.
Courtney Crumrin, Volume 1: The Night Things - Special Edition will be released in April 2012.
