Fans Can't Get Enough Dick

We told you about Hawaiian Dick a few months back and I promptly pre-ordered a copy which will arrive with my next shipment (sometime in the next 2 weeks or so). That's the thing about advance ordering: you get what you want, regardless of whether or not the rest of the mongrels are fighting like the dogs they are at the stores, but it's usually a week or two after it hits the stands. Still, you also get great savings, so the trade-off is worth it.

So I'm eagerly awaiting my Dick. Dammit! This here's an official Image Comics press release:

November 29^th, 2007 (Berkeley, CA) - HAWAIIAN DICK, the award-winning tropical noir series by B. Clay Moore & Stephen Griffin, made its highly anticipated return as on ongoing with artist Scott Chantler and has now sold out at a distribution level.

"HAWAIIAN DICK continuously proves it has a very firm, solid and underestimated fan base," Moore said. "The increasing sell through success of past mini-series combined with the subsequent acclaim prove Byrd and company are always in demand, which makes us happy. It's still my baby, so to speak, and we're doing what we can to make it something special."

HAWAIIAN DICK is no stranger to praise with past mini-series receiving nominations for the prestigious Eisner award and the new ongoing selected as WIZARD MAGAZINE'S "Comic Book We Want To Read". To meet the demand Image Comics is going back to press with a second printing featuring a cover by Jason LaTour.

HAWAIIAN DICK #1 2^nd-printing (SEP078107), a 32-page comic book for $2.99, will arrive in stores December 12^th. Both Vol. 1: Byrd of Paradise (OCT071978) and Vol. 2: The Last Resort (AUG061743) are currently available for reorder.
