From New York Times bestselling and Harvey award-winning graphic novelist Matt Kindt comes this deluxe hardcover edition of the humorous espionage adventure.

It’s John Wick meets Wes Anderson in this mystery-thriller about a secret organization that's developed the perfect spy. Who is the perfect spy? A spy who doesn’t even realize they are a spy. AKA the “useful idiot.” This particular useful idiot is named Jay. Jay is sent on missions without even realizing he’s on a mission. Until he picks up the wrong phone with the wrong secret intel and now Russian hit-squads and elite assassins are after him. But Jay believes he was a sleeper agent—and really is the "spy superb". His complete obliviousness and lack of survival skills may be the only thing that saves him in this globe-trotting espionage tale …where nothing is what it seems…but also…kind of actually is what it seems.

Collects Spy Superb #1-3 with brand new cover art in a deluxe hardcover format with gold embossed foil, a ribbon marker, and kraft paper-like dustjacket that hides the book in plain sight. Spy Superb is the latest release from Flux House Books, a new boutique imprint that will feature the writing (and sometimes) art of acclaimed comics creator Matt Kindt, with crime, science fiction, horror, and humor stories, all told and presented in startling and untraditional ways.

Praise for Spy Superb

“I mean, it’s right there in the title. Spy. Superb. This is a truly superb espionage page-turner that kicks off what’s sure to be a funny, nasty meditation on the spy genre. Can’t wait to see where this one goes!!!”—Patton Oswalt

On Matt Kindt’s Mind MGMT:

“Best first issue I've read in a loooong time is MIND MGMT.”—Brian Michael Bendis, writer of Avengers and Ultimate Spider-Man

“MIND MGMT has got me for the long haul. If you are a fan of mysteries, if you are a fan of Kindt, if you are a fan of comics: pick this up!”—ComicsBulletin.com Five-Star Review

“Combines all the elements I love—conspiracies, morally ambiguous characters, nonlinear storytelling. Awesome.”—David S. Goyer, co-writer of The Dark Knight and Man of Steel

“Matt Kindt is the man. Superb series.”—Junot Díaz, Pulitzer Prize–winning author of The Brief  Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao

“Every step of [MIND MGMT] is as thrilling as it is original. You will be surprised. Shocked. Entertained. And if you’re like me, you will be desperate for more.”—Damon Lindelof, creator of Lost

“MIND MGMT is the best comic out there!”—Jeff Lemire, creator of Black Hammer and Sweet Tooth

“A ferociously smart and brilliantly inventive page turner of a mystery.”—Scott Snyder, writer of Batman, Superman Unchained, and The Wake

“The best mainstream comic of the year.”—AVClub.com

“Matt Kindt has developed into one of the most exciting and original talents in the business.”—The LA Times

“Matt Kindt is a storyteller so fully in control of his gifts that his graphic novels read like quietly compelling arguments for the comics medium's narrative potential.”—NPR

“MIND MGMT is to the brain what Chris Ware’s Acme Novelty Library books are to the eyes. Every chapter of this thought-provoking series utilizes deceptively simple imagery that conceals layers upon layers upon layers of seductive fiction.” —Terry Moore (Strangers in Paradise, Rachel Rising)

“It is a reading experience that only comics can give you, and only a great storyteller like Matt can pull it off.”—Darwyn Cooke, writer and artist of Richard Stark’s Parker and DC: The New Frontier
