Stray Bullets - Publication History

Publication History

The first issue was published in 1995 and followed an irregular publishing schedule through its fortieth issue, which was published in 2005. No new issues have been published since. In a 2007 interview with Michael Lorah for the Newsarama website, Lapham revealed that the series, including the final issue of the current story arc, is on hold indefinitely:

“ NRAMA : I’ve got to ask, what is the status of El Capitan and Stray Bullets?


DAVID LAPHAM : It kills me to put Stray Bullets on hold like it’s been. Maria and I both put a lot of years and a lot of hard work into the company and the book. And I still have one issue left in the current arc, left dangling. But the reality the last few years has been that it’s faster and pays more to work freelance right now. The reality is I have a family and I can’t just say stop everything and let’s do Stray Bullets for love. I do love Bullets and know I will complete it, and the sooner the better, but I just can’t commit to anything firm.

In 2009, a new ten-page story titled, Stray Bullets: Open the Goddamn Box appeared in Noir: A Collection of Crime Comics, an anthology book published by Dark Horse Comics.
