December 7, 2007 - SIMON DARK #1, the first issue of the new, monthly series from writer Steve Niles and artist Scott Hampton, has sold out at DC Comics and is going back to press for a second printing.

“I couldn’t be happier with the reaction to SIMON DARK,” says Niles. “I really owe a lot to my co-creator, Scott Hampton, and a huge thanks to DC Comics for gambling on such a strange venture. It’s good to know that being a weird geek can pay off sometimes.”

SIMON DARK #1 Second Printing (OCT078509) will feature a new cover by Scott Hampton and is scheduled to arrive in stores on January 4.

To ensure delivery on January 4, retailers must confirm orders by Sunday, December 23. Please note that quantities will be limited and may sell out before December 23. This items will not be offered on Final Order Cutoff.
