Image Comics is going back to press on Volume 3 of Robert Kirkman's THE WALKING DEAD series.
SAFETY BEHIND BARS, which collects issues #13-18 of the acclaimed series, was printed well above the standard overprint for trade paperbacks - almost 400% over initial orders.
With the stock of more than 20,000 copies nearly gone after only six weeks, Image wanted to ensure there would be no interruption in the availability of THE WALKING DEAD.
"Frankly I'm at a loss for words," said Robert Kirkman. "We've sold out of our initial print run in less than two months. I love this book, and I enjoy working on it but I don't know what people are doing with this book--smoking it? This news, to me, means that I can continue writing the book and nothing makes me happier than that, I hope we'll be sending press releases like this out for volume 63."
The newest printings of THE WALKING DEAD Volume 1 & 2 (DAYS GONE BYE [FEB041347] and MILES BEHIND US [AUG041586], respectively) collect the first twelve issues between them and are available now. The second printing of SAFETY BEHIND BARS (FEB051581) will be in stores by the end of July.
