Happy! by Grant Morrison & Darick Robertson Debuts in September 2012
NEW MORRISON & ROBERTSON SERIES WISHES YOU MANY HAPPY RETURNS
HAPPY! debuts in September from Image Comics
Press release
Nick Sax isn’t what you’d call a "winner." The anti-hero of the new Grant Morrison and Darick Robertson comic mini-series HAPPY! has been fired from the police force, turned on by his own employees in his murder-for-hire business (well, what would you expect?), is constantly drunk, and is waging a hopeless battle against the agonies of eczema. Sax seems beyond redemption, but saviors often take strange forms, and, in his case, it’s the form of a tiny blue, feathered pony named Happy.
