‘D’Orc’ Continues Its Sell Out Success — First Three Issues To Get Further Printings
by Olly MacNamee
That’s right, folks, Brett Bean‘s fantasy comedy, D’orc, continues to do well with fans as news arrives here at Comicon.com HQ that the first three issues are getting further print runs to keep up with demand. Not because Image Comics seems to underprint most of its comic books to create this false sense of rarity amongst comic book collectors. Or, is that being too cynical? It could simply be down to new readers hearing good things about books like this. That would explain why the debut issue is getting a sixth printing, while issue #2 gets a fourth and issue #3 gets a third printing.
Anyway, issues #1-3 have been rushed back to print with all three new reprints coming out on the same day this June.
“It’s an amazing adventure for me as a creator to see how people have responded to D’orc,” said Bean. “It’s beyond my wildest dreams.”
“Armed with nothing but a wisecracking enchanted shield and a crippling need for friendship, D’orc follows a lonely orphan who 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 is destined 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.”
If you like I Hate Fairyland, or Vault’s Barbaric then you’ll like this series, too.
