15 June 2009 (Berkeley, CA) - Barely 48 hours after release, SAVAGE DRAGON #149, featuring the major debut of the deadly Dart, faces a complete distribution-level sellout just as creator Erik Larsen announces his subsequent issue's milestone expanding from 64 to 100 pages!"I knew Dart was going to be a big deal for SAVAGE DRAGON and it looks like fans reacted well," Larsen said. "She's going to be playing a very significant role in the road ahead, especially in the fallout of our monster-sized next issue. #150 will prove to be a major turning point in the life of our Chicago's finest, so much so that keeping it at 64 pages wasn't enough. Fans who jumped on with Dart's appearance will be very happy with the bulked-up 100-page issue."
While SAVAGE DRAGON has gained an increased audience after its highly-publicized relaunch several months ago, SAVAGE DRAGON #149 exceeded the previous sell-through with its fastest distribution level sellout to date. In addition, even though a second-printing will be released with SAVAGE DRAGON #150 this July, first-printings of SAVAGE DRAGON #149 may still be available at your local comic book store. SAVAGE DRAGON #150 will now not only feature an extra-length, 30-page lead story (and the previously announced all-new back-up stories with Thor, Vanguard, and Chris Giarrusso's G-Man), but also the long-lost origin of the Golden Age Daredevil by Charles Biro, and the out-of-print (OOP) origin of SAVAGE DRAGON, himself!
SAVAGE DRAGON #149 2nd-Printing (MAR098163), a 32-page, full-color comic book for $3.50, will be in stores July 1st, 2009 to coincide with SAVAGE DRAGON #150 (MAY090295), a 100-page, full-color comic book for $5.99.
