JOE BOB GOES TO THE DRIVE-IN RETURNS TO PRINT 10/14/25
For all you Drive-In Mutants who’ve asked for a reprint of JOE BOB GOES TO THE DRIVE-IN, your prayers have been answered! But this is no ordinary reprint. Why?
Numero Uno
Drive-in Archivist Ben Nagy went to the Dallas Public Library, learned how to use microfiche, and brought back all the original columns so Joe Bob could restore what was cut from the first book. This new edition has the reviews you loved the first time PLUS writing not seen in 40 years!
Numero Two-o
Joe Bob wanted this to be special, so he partnered with Dark Horse. They’ve put together a hardcover, art book- sized edition lovingly illustrated by Mike Norton and colored by Bill Crabtree, with a new cover by Wallace McBride. You’ve never seen Joe Bob’s columns like this!
Numero Three-o
Joe Bob says,
“I’m thrilled that someone still cares about these little pieces dashed off for a daily newspaper four decades ago and was amazed that they were reprinted in book form the first time. To have them now memorialized and illustrated by a prestige outfit like Dark Horse is mind-boggling. They come from a time when the mainstream media hated what I was doing and many organizations actively tried to cancel me, but today they seem so tame that nobody will believe that. I hope all the genre experts of the current day will regard them as the primitive pre-history of pop culture film criticism.”
