‘The Department Of Truth’ Gets #1 A Fifth Printing
by Olly MacNamee
James Tynion IV and Martin Simmonds’ conspiracy theory espionage series’ The Department of Truth gets yet another printing of its debut issue. And that first printing sold over 100,000 even before a second, third and fourth printing to keep up with demand.
I dare say the recent news that it’s going to be adapted for TV by Chernobyl production company, Sister, is helping boost this extra demand, which is good news for comics.
