San Diego, CA (April 17, 2006) — What do a reborn title, Clive
Barker’s latest, some transforming beasts, an art bonanza from Ash
Wood and friends, and a couple vampire tales have in common? They’re
all among the latest IDW Publishing titles to completely sell out
through Diamond. In addition to the sell-outs IDW recently
experienced with SUPERMARKET #’s 1 & 2, the company announced today
that the following books are also sold out through Diamond:
“It’s great to see quality books met with such positive performance,”
said IDW’s Publisher and Editor-in-Chief Chris Ryall. “We print
significantly more copies than the initial orders we receive from
Diamond. When we set a print run for a book, we try to print enough
copies so that retailers will be able to re-order the books through
the run of the series. These sell-outs caught us by a surprise, and
signal a nice upturn for the industry in general. I also hope these
numerous sell-outs encourage retailers to similarly recognize the
demand for IDW’s books and order accordingly. As much as I love to
see a title sell out, I like even more for anyone who wants an IDW
comic to be able to easily find it.”
SWALLOW BOOK TWO will receive a second printing, along with a new
cover from artist Ashley Wood. Retailers can order the second
printing with item code # FEB06 806. The second print is due to
arrive in stores on May 17, the same day the second printings of
SUPERMARKET arrive.
