GOES TO SECOND PRINTING!



FARSCAPE #3 - 2nd PRINT

Los Angeles - March 20th, 2009 - For the third day in a row, BOOM! Studios has announced a record FARSCAPE comic book sell-out and a need to reprint the hit series. Following immediately after the news that FARSCAPE #1 and #2 has sold out of two printings and both are going into a third print, BOOM! Studios announced today a second printing of the third issue of the FARSCAPE comic book.

"This series continues to perform," said Marketing and Sales Director Chip Mosher. "Fans have been rabid, and retailers are thrilled and excited with what they're seeing in the stores."

"It is truly an honor to toil on a series as hard as we have and see such a great reception," said Editor-in-Chief Mark Waid. "It's gratifying, and we couldn't be prouder to be associated with one of the greatest science fiction franchises of all time, and one of the greatest science fiction writers of all time in Rockne S. O'Bannon, series creator."

Diamond Comics Distributors is making the third printings of FARSCAPE #1 and #2 and the second print of FARSCAPE #3 available for retailers to order now. The second printing of FARSCAPE #3 has an expected in-store date of April 29th.

The first printing of FARSCAPE #1 was released on Christmas Eve 2008 and sold out in a record five days while the first print of FARSCAPE #2 sold out in seven days and FARSCAPE #3 sold out in less than two weeks. The fourth and final issue of the miniseries will be appearing on stands shortly.

The FARSCAPE comic series is written by FARSCAPE 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.
