Berkeley, CA - 13 April 2010 - The first issue of writer Jonathan Ross and artist Tommy Lee Edwards' critically acclaimed miniseries is sold-out at the distributor level, and publisher Image Comics is rushing a second-printing to press.
"This is so cool!" Ross exclaims. "Hope everyone who bought this debut issue is going to stick with us to the end because we have some insane stuff planned for this book!"
"I am so proud of the work that Jonathan and I have put into TURF and am really glad that the first issue has been received so well," adds Edwards. "Doing a second-printing will hopefully ensure that our series gets into enough readers' hands and gets them hooked, because the whole thing just gets better and better with each issue."
Image Publisher Eric Stephenson says, "I'm ecstatic that the first issue of TURF has sold out. Jonathan and Tommy have worked so hard on this book, and they deserve all of the praise they've received for TURF."
TURF: New York, 1929. The height of prohibition. The cops turn a blind eye while the mobs run the city, dealing in guns, girls, and illegal liquor. But the arrival of the mysterious Dragonmir Family from Eastern Europe, with more of a taste for blood than booze, coincides with a series of brutal attacks on the gangsters themselves. As the gangs fall before the fangs, only a handful of mobsters survive. But an unlikely alliance formed between tough guy, Eddie Falco, and a character from a LONG way from New York City -- a long way from Earth in fact -- offers the humans a glimmer of hope. As the strong-willed, young reporter, Susie Dale from the Gotham Herald, tries to survive in the middle of the maelstrom and an ancient prophecy unfolds, no one can guess who's going to win the battle for this particular slice of Turf.
TURF #1 Second-Printing, a 32-page, full-color comic book for $2.99, will be in stores May 19, 2010, the same day as TURF #2 (MAR100405).
