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.

Hawaiian Dick Goes Monthly!

I'll freely admit that I was completely unaware of this comic, but once you read this official Image Comics press release, you'll see that it's right up my alley, so I'm going to go ahead and order it and will give you a review as soon as it arrives.

August 25^th (Berkeley, CA) - The Eisner-award nominated HAWAIIAN DICK miniseries have both garnered a lot of attention, but this November creators B. Clay Moore and Steven Griffin team up with Tek Jansen and Northwest Passage artist Scott Chantler to bring fans their monthly dose of tropical noir.

"HAWAIIAN DICK has always been my favorite series to write," says writer B. Clay Moore. "It hits all of my favorite interests - the '50s, cocktails and the supernatural. While I'm very proud of 'Byrd of Paradise' and 'The Last Resort,' I always felt a little restricted in the miniseries format. I wanted to allow plotlines to develop more naturally. After years of mulling it over, everything came together when Steve and I met Scott Chantler."

This newfound freedom allows Moore to flesh out the world of Byrd, a disgraced Stateside detective who lands in Hawaii to forget his recent troubles. However, forces both criminal and supernatural force him out of his self imposed retirement. Byrd's new cases will be drawn Scott Chantler in the lead story while Steven Griffin will provide covers and a six-page back up every issue.

Image Comics Executive Direction Eric Stephenson adds, "To see HAWAIIAN DICK go from fledgling miniseries to a franchise strong enough to support an ongoing means a lot. We couldn't be prouder of this title, or more excited for Clay, Steven and Scott."

HAWAIIAN DICK #1 (SEP071953), a 32-page full color ongoing series with a cover price of $2.99, will be available for order in the September issue of Previews and will go on sale November 21^st.
