Savage Dragon #252 (AUG209090), which was all told in Sunday Funnies format has sold out and gone to a second printing from Image Comics. A rather wonderful comic book, we ran a preview a few weeks ago. Looks like it flew out… but will be back in stores for the 28th of October.

Marvel Comics has been going through a burst of additional printings coming out of lockdown, with Donny Cates work seemingly being the lead instigator in driving this demand. It's been quite some time since Marvel has had a sixth printing of anything, and fifth printings aren't that common. Still they will have to quite a long way to catch up with Akira. Something to aim for, Donny? How many more printings with Thor #2 be able to justify?
