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.
“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
