‘D’orc’ #1 Sells Out And Gets A Second Printing From Image Comics

Writer/artist Brett Bean (I Hate Fairyland, Dungeon Crawler Carl The Crocodile), colourist Jean-François Beaulieu (I Hate Fairyland), and letterer Nate Piekos (Minor Threats) have a certifiable hit on their hands with the news that D’orc #1 has sold out at the distributor level and therefore gets an order for a second printing. Which gives us a good excuse to preview thos sold out issue to give you a taste of what you’re missing.

Obviously, Bean is rather happy about this good news:

“I am absolutely blown away by the love our little D’orc is getting. Not in my wildest dreams did I imagine that fans and stores would care about him as much as I do. A huge thank you for making D’orc Day a success.”

“Armed with nothing but a wisecracking enchanted shield and a crippling need for friendship, a lonely orphan stumbles headfirst into Sunderaine’s never-ending war. Light vs. Dark. Elves vs. Orcs. Wizards vs. Common Sense. Dragons vs. Literally Everyone. And caught dead-center? D’orc.

Half dwarf, half orc, and wholly inconvenient to a doomsday prophecy, D’orc’s fated to end the world. Soon, every human, elf, goblin, dwarf, Snargletooth, Necroid, Ice Giant, Trauma Llama, and at least three other unpronounceable magical creatures will know his name. Unfortunately, so will his enemies.

Perfect for fans of Conan the Barbarian, The Lord of the Rings, and, of course, I Hate Fairyland’s deadpan humor, D’orc is an adventure readers won’t want to miss.”

D’orc #1, second printing is out on Wednesday, the 4th of March, from Imaeg Comics.
