To kick off early festivities for Cyanide & Happiness’ upcoming 20th anniversary, BOOM! Studios proudly announces the launch of its latest BOOM! Direct Reserve campaign with CYANIDE & HAPPINESS 20th ANNIVERSARY EXTRAVAGANZA!


The irreverent biting satire of CYANIDE & HAPPINESS has made it one of the most beloved and successful webcomics of all time and brought its millions of worldwide fans unadulterated joy for nearly 20 years. BOOM! Studios, in partnership with Explosm, is thrilled to offer fans of this transcendent phenomenon not only a brand new collection of comic strips and mostly true history of the franchise, but the first ever library of high end hardcover editions of all three of BOOM! Studios’ previously published editions. along with highly limited collectibles celebrating nearly two decades of hilarity.


Alongside the new CYANIDE & HAPPINESS: TWENTY YEARS WASTED collection and commemorative 20th Anniversary deluxe editions of PUNCHING ZOO, STAB FACTORY, and A GUIDE TO PARENTING BY THREE GUYS WITH NO KIDS, this BOOM! Direct Reserve Campaign will also offer fans an exclusive A/R enhanced enamel pin in collaboration with Pinfinity, a highly collectible 20th anniversary calendar, a limited edition vinyl swear jar toy, and exclusive Joking Hazard playing cards to collect and add to your game, along with more rewards and upgrades to be announced throughout the month!


“It is truly incredible that Cyanide & Happiness is reaching this monumental milestone and beyond that built an empire of comics, games, animation, and so much more. Dave, Kris, and Rob’s irreverent, often dark, always at least mildly inappropriate sense of humor created the blueprint for many webcomics putting them in a category of one on the internet for two decades, and we at BOOM! Studios are truly honored to be part of their continuing story.” -President of Publishing & Marketing, Filip Sablik.
