FARSCAPE #2 SELLS OUT!
GOES TO SECOND PRINTING


First Printing of #2 Sells Out In 7 Days
The Boston Herald lauds series as a "Great read!"



LOS ANGELES- February 12th, 2008 - BOOM! Studios announced today that after selling out in seven days, FARSCAPE #2 will be receiving a second printing. The second print will have a completely different cover to distinguish itself from the first printing. This is the first time in BOOM! Studios history where strong demand has necessitated a second printing on an issue #2.


Fans should keep in mind, while distributor Diamond Comics are completely sold out, Farscape #2 may still be found at direct market retailers across the country. Diamond Comics Distributors will make the second printing of FARSCAPE #2 available for order soon.

"The word is out - FARSCAPE is a runaway bestseller," said BOOM!'s Marketing and Sales Director Chip Mosher. "The demand for FARSCAPE is high and we are fighting to meet that demand. We are completely gratified by the response from old and new fans alike. Everyone working on the book could not be happier."

FARSCAPE #2 is written by television series creator Rockne S. O'Bannon with script by Keith R.A. DeCandido, interior art by Tommy Patterson and cover art by fan-favorites Dennis Calero and Joseph Corroney!

Picking up directly where the television miniseries FARSCAPE: THE PEACEKEEPER WARS left off, fans can look forward to show creator O'Bannon steering their favorite characters into new and original stories, keeping with the existing canon - and then extending it!

Debuting on the SCI-FI Channel in 1998, FARSCAPE follows the adventures of astronaut John Crichton, who has a freak accident during an experimental space mission that catapults him across a thousand galaxies to an alien battlefield. Suddenly, he's trapped among alien creatures wielding deadly technology - a battle that 20th century sci-fi pop culture never prepared him for. Hunted by a merciless military race, Crichton begins his quest for home from a distant galaxy.

A groundbreaking award-winning sci-fi production, FARSCAPE from The Jim Henson Company and [HALLMARK] has become a global favorite. Named by TV Guide as one of television's "Best Cult Shows Ever" and most recently named by EMPIRE Magazine as one of the "50 Greatest TV Shows of All Time," FARSCAPE is known for the overwhelming fan-based campaign that led to its miniseries production. The show has continued to find new audiences as it airs in syndication and is available on iTunes and DVD.
