How awesome is that? Farscape fangirls are going to line up for this one.
This special limited edition comic is the first of an upcoming series of three special covers that will debut at a select number of comic book conventions across the country at the BOOM! Studios booth.
“When I first heard the term ‘holofoil’ I didn’t know what to think. It’s hard to describe the special metallic effect the books have. But once the issues came into the office, they blew my socks off,” said Chip Mosher, Director of Sales and Marketing. “Fans are going to absolutely love them.”

LOS ANGELES – January 5th, 2008 – BOOM! Studios announced today that after selling out in five days, FARSCAPE #1 will be receiving a second printing. The second print will have a slightly altered cover to distinguish itself from the first printing.
Diamond Comics Distributors will make the second printing of FARSCAPE #1 available on January 14th, at that time the second printing’s code will open for orders, and a Diamond Daily article will also run that day alerting retailers to its availability.
FARSCAPE #1 second print has a tentative street date of February 4th.
“All of us involved with the Farscape comic books are ecstatic that the fans have embraced the project in such an overwhelming way,” said BOOM!’s Managing Editor Matt Gagnon. ” I couldn’t be happier with the team we have in place. We’re having a blast continuing the Farscape mythos, and we hope it shows.”
FARSCAPE #1 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!
Knowing it would be a hot property, Boom! Studios released its first issue of Farscape just in time to fill the holiday stocking of long time fans. Even with two major holidays going on, the first issue by Rockne O’Bannon and Keith R.A. DeCandido sold out in just a week.
“We are tracking the unfilled re-orders carefully at the moment. But a second printing looks like it may just happen,” said Marketing and Sales Director Chip Mosher.
The series, picks up where the television mini-series The Peacekeeper Wars left off, so those who are looking to get their Farscape continuity fix on, Boom! looks to have the answer. And while we won’t find out until next month how many copies of this issue sold, any sellout title is reason for celebrating.
Boom Studios has a slew of issues hitting shelves next week, just in time for the long holiday week. Take the jump for Fall of Cthulhu: Apocalypse #1, Farscape #1, Galveston #2, Necronomicon #4, Remnant #1, Warhammer: Crown of Destruction #3, and Warhammer 40,000: Defenders of Ultramar #1.
