Head Lopper originally began as a self-published project by comics creator Andrew MacLean.

It's for the better…In April 2016 MacLean announced on various social media channels that Image Comics had picked up Head Lopper for another miniseries in 2017.

These stories were collected in Rumble – Volume 6: Last Knight[8] and Head Lopper & the Quest for Mulgrid's Stair.

The Kickstarter for the self-published Head Lopper 2: The Wolves of Barra was funded with only 544 backers, but strong word of mouth and reviews led to the series being picked up by Image Comics.

The Image Comics incarnation of Head Lopper has had strong reviews since its debut, with MacLean's artwork and sense of humor and Bellaire's coloring receiving consistently high praise.
