Image Comics unveiled the cover art by Fiona Staples for the eagerly awaited Saga Book Four deluxe hardcover edition, slated for release in April 2026.

The press release follows:

Media Release -- The highly anticipated Saga Book Four deluxe hardcover edition cover art by Fiona Staples was revealed last weekend during the Brian K. Vaughan Spotlight panel at San Diego Comic-Con. This stunning collected edition of the bestselling, multiple Eisner award winning series by Vaughan and Staples is set to hit shelves in April 2026 from Image Comics.



The striking Saga Book Four cover art conveys the teenage attitude of main character Hazel.

"For the last thirteen years, we've been watching Hazel grow up in more or less in 'real time,' both in the pages of our ongoing series, and most memorably on Fiona Staples' gorgeous original covers for our collections," said Vaughan. "Caught in the middle of an endless war between the planet of Landfall and its moon Wreath, Hazel is the only person in the universe who's inherited both wings and horns from these two worlds, and I love how Fiona's latest cover captures our culturally conflicted adolescent. This upcoming fourth Deluxe Hardcover is my favorite yet, and I can't wait for readers to see what Fiona and I have been cooking up for the next stage of life for Hazel and her found family."

After the most shocking tragedy of her young life, Hazel and her star-crossed family embark on an emotional new adventure, one that takes them to a few unexpected corners of the universe. Collecting Saga issues #55-72—including the storyline that won the title's second Hugo Award—this deluxe edition features exclusive extras, including a gallery of never-before-seen Saga artwork from some of Staples' and Vaughan's favorite creators.

Saga is a genre-blending, sci-fi/fantasy space opera about star-crossed lovers from enemy worlds. An epic romantasy featuring a diverse and eclectic cast of memorable characters, Saga follows new parents Marko and Alana as they risk everything to raise their child amidst a never-ending galactic war.

The series also boasts multiple Eisner Awards, Harvey Awards, a Hugo Award, British Fantasy Award, Goodreads Choice Award, Shuster Award, Inkwell Award, Ringo Award, and more. It has been featured in such mainstream media outlets as TIME, Entertainment Weekly, The Atlantic, NPR, and more. The series has become a pop culture phenomenon and has been immortalized with references and easter eggs appearing in such popular TV shows as Supernatural, The Big Bang Theory, The Simpsons, and even a Taco Bell commercial featuring cosplay of Marko.

Select praise for Saga:

"A completely addictive, human story." —Publishers Weekly (starred review)

"While the book works as a poignant love story and an indictment of prejudice, trippy visuals and clever dialog make this Romeo and Juliet space opera a lot of fun as well." —Library Journal

"Vaughan's whip-snap dialogue is as smart, cutting, and well timed as ever… [Staples'] character designs dish out some of the best aliens around, the immersive world-crafting is lushly detailed and deeply thought through, and the spacious layouts keep the focus squarely on the personal element, despite the chaotic cosmos they inhabit." —Booklist (starred review)

"The kind of comic that you get when truly talented superstar creators are given the freedom to produce their dream comic…Saga is Heavy Metal eclecticism synthesized into a singular, sprawling narrative à la Cerberus or The Walking Dead—a vast sandbox built for never ending castle-building." —Entertainment Weekly

"An unwieldy, profane, and glorious ode to compassion and equality… a sprawling tale that shuffles the beats of numerous genres, including pulp romance, road trip, Western, dark comedy, and political thriller." —The Atlantic

"There are two kinds of people in this world: Those who are reading Brian K. Vaughan and Fiona Staples amazing adult sci fi/fantasy Image comic Saga, and those who haven't yet. The former people are leading happier, fuller lives, because Saga is amaaaaaazzzing." —io9/Gizmodo

"Saga is the space fantasy comic of our times." —BookRiot

"The humanity that BKV imbues on his characters is rich and relatable, and the danger that surrounds them is fierce and ever present." —IGN
