‘It Happened On Hyde Street: Devour’ Sells Out On Day Of Release

It Happened on Hyde Street: Devour one-shot by writer Maytal Zchut, French artist Leila Leiz colourist Alex Sinclair, and letterer Rob Leigh has sold out at the distributor level, today, day-of-release. Published by Image Comics/Ghost Machine, this sinister horror one-shot will therefor get a second printing.

Here’s the plot and preview:

“In Devour, readers meet Lily who needs to lose weight to fit into her wedding dress but struggles to shed some pounds. And what’s worse, her super-thin grandmother relentlessly disparages Lily’s approach, instead lavishing praise upon a quick-fix miracle supplement called Devour, as hawked by the mysterious health guru, Miss Goodbody. But is taking it worth the cost? In this extra-length one-shot nightmare, when it comes to Devour…all you need is one.”

And here’s Zchut on the comic’s success:

“I am so thrilled Devouris going to a second printing before it has even hit stores. I think this speaks to readers’ excitement over a topic not often covered and the fresh perspective that artist, Leila Leiz, and I bring to the story. Looking forward to seeing the response when the book hits shelves. I am very grateful to retailers for this show of faith in Ghost Machine and for believing in a new voice in comics.”

It Happened on Hyde Street: Devour, second printing will be out on Wednesday, November 27th from Image Comics/Ghost Machine.
