LOS ANGELES 01/23/2025 — Today Skybound and Image Comics announced the retail release of The Book of Shame: An Extra Fabulous Collection, which will collect over 190 of the best of Zach M. Stafford’s irreverent humor webcomic series Extra Fabulous in print, available in stores for the first time September 2025.
Webcomics master Zach M. Stafford presents his most shameful work of all-time in The Book of Shame: An Extra Fabulous Collection, the sopping wet follow-up to his graphic novel debut! Embrace your dark, shameful nature with nearly 200 pages of the best (and worst) Extra Fabulous comics of all time, including print-exclusive never-before-seen comics.
“Shame is a physical substance that you’re supposed to burn in your backyard,” said Zach M. Stafford. Well, Skybound took a bunch of mine and smashed it into a book somehow. Enjoy!”
Shame! We all feel it. Every day. All the time…right? Presenting commentary on themes such as life, death, and the daily millennial existential crisis of mere existence through absurd relatable humor combined with honest emotion, The Book of Shame does however come with a warning—this book contains references to many bodily fluids, so it’s best to lay down a tarp before reading.
“My family has disowned me for publishing this book,” said Alex Antone, Editorial Director of Skybound. “But what do they know? Zach M. Stafford is THE modern master of the fart joke, and The Book of Shame is his crowning achievement.”
The Book of Shame is one of the top 10 most funded webcomic Kickstarter campaigns of all time, earning over $268,000 and marking Stafford’s second Extra Fabulous Experience Kickstarter with Skybound. His first, The Extra Fabulous Experience, is the fourth most funded webcomics Kickstarter of all time, receiving nearly $475,000 in pledges. These Kickstarter campaigns continue one of Skybound’s core objectives—to bring acclaimed webcomics and exciting new voices to print for the first time.
Skybound continues to uphold its reputation as the biggest name in comic book publisher crowdfunding, setting records with the most funded comics campaign on Kickstarter with G.I. JOE: A Real American Hero, and the most funded webcomic, Ava’s Demon Book Two: Aftermath. Skybound’s record-breaking slate of graphic novel campaigns that have elevated a diverse group of talent also includes Extremity: Signature Edition, Ava’s Demon Book One: Reborn, Mr. Lovenstein Presents: Failure, Mr. Lovenstein Presents: Feelings, Excellence, and The King-Killing Queen.
The Book of Shame: An Extra Fabulous Experience (ISBN 978-1-5343-3283-6| SRP $14.99) will be available at comic book shops on Wednesday September 17, 2025, and at booksellers, along with digital platforms including Amazon Kindle, Apple Books, and Google Play on Tuesday September 30, 2025.
