Yes, this is happening! The first Skin Horse print collection will be out in August. The book will include a the first year of strips, plus a bonus story, pinups, and other great stuff. Many thanks to Pancha Diaz for the lovely book design.
I'm super excited about this. Putting this together has been a lot of fun, and Jeffrey and I are going to totally flip out when the actual books arrive. You can preorder copies here.
