The Pro Blows Through New Printing

You know, I've said this before, but I love working this blog for this very reason: every once in a while, I come across something that just blows me away that I honestly probably would not have heard of otherwise. The premise for this one isn't really my cup o' tea, but man I love the art on the cover! Too funny!

This is an official press release from those sicky rock stars over to Image Comics:

In 2002 Garth Ennis, Amanda Connor and Jimmy Palmiotti introduced the superhero community to the world's first superhuman prostitute, THE PRO. Since then the graphic novel has been reprinted multiple times with the latest edition immediately selling out at the distribution level.

"THE PRO helped put a spotlight on Amanda and was the first time I was really cut loose on superheroes," said series writer Garth Ennis. "We're not entirely surprised by the continued interest in the book given where our careers have taken us since."

Originally published in prestige format, THE PRO was subsequently published in an oversized hardcover, both of which went out of print until the recent softcover repackaging. Soon after the new edition's release, the entire run sold through with a reprint already in the works.

THE PRO (JUL071936), a 72-page full color graphic novel with a cover price of $7.99, is currently available for reorder.
