Animal Castle #1 Sells Out, ABLAZE plans 2nd Printing

Animal Castle has turned out to be a surprise hit for publisher ABLAZE – the 1st issue has sold out and heading for a 2nd printing. The European series by writer Xavier Dorison and artist Felix Delep is a political satire that riffs on George Orwell's Animal Farm about an animal rebellion that sets up a new system of governance only for tensions between different animal factions to result in more conflict. The 2nd printing of Animal Castle #1 will be out on January 12th, 2022. ABLAZE is recommending that retailers contact their Diamond account rep and place a reorder to make sure they don't miss out.  Both books will go on Final Order Cutoff Monday, December 13th.
