***Billi 99*** is a four-issue [comic book](/source/Comic_book) [limited series](/source/Limited_series_(comics)) published by [Dark Horse Comics](/source/Dark_Horse_Comics) in [1991](/source/1991_in_comics), which was later reprinted in 2002. It was written by [Sarah Byam](/source/Sarah_Byam) and illustrated by [Tim Sale](/source/Tim_Sale_(artist)). It is among Tim Sale's earliest published work.[1]

The tag line for *Billi 99*, as seen in comic ads in Fall 1991, reads, "It's 1999... Do You Know Where Your Civil Rights Are? Billi 99 A Prayer in Four Parts". The story was inspired by Byam's experiences in Detroit in the 1980s, a love of the heroic stories and pessimism over the reactionary political movements of the time.

A second collected edition was recently[when?] reprinted and sold in English, Spanish, and Italian; and distributed throughout Europe, the U.S., and Canada.
