Choker #1 - Second-Printing

Berkeley, CA - 9 March 2010 - CHOKER #1, the first of a six-issue, detective noir series by industry superstar, BEN TEMPLESMITH, and writer, BEN MCCOOL, is completely sold-out at the distribution level. Image Comics is rushing a second printing to press, for release alongside CHOKER #2 on March 17^th.

"The response to CHOKER has been tremendous!" Templesmith exclaims. "Thanks to all the readers and everyone who has joined us at CHOKER events around the country. It's more than a couple of blokes could ask for!" McCool adds, "This wouldn't be possible without the readers. So, big thanks for reading CHOKER. I hope you're having as absolute a blast with it as we are!"

"We are incredibly proud to be working with Templesmith and McCool on CHOKER, and we're as thrilled as they are about the phenomenal response to the first issue," says Image Publisher Eric Stephenson. "Their work on the series is unmatched, and I can't wait to see readers' response to the rest of the series."

CHOKER stars Johnny "Choker" Jackson, once one of Shotgun City's most promising police officers, a bitter private detective with a terrible case of Alien Hand Syndrome. But he's been unexpectedly offered a job back on the force - provided he can nail a twisted drug dealer selling a very exclusive product, that is...

CHOKER #1 Second-Printing, a 32-page, full-color comic book for $3.99, will be in stores March 17^th, 2010, the same day as CHOKER #2 (JAN100458).
