When Todd The Ugliest Kid On Earth came out from Image, we rather enjoyed it at Bleeding Cool. It was an instant sell out and become a hot book straiught away. Then, over the last couple of months, it's star faded slightly. Issue 1 sold for about $6, issues 2 and 3 autographed, couldn't get $2 for the pair.

Then news happened.

Image Comics' hit comic book TODD, THE UGLIEST KID ON EARTH is the latest addition to the stable of geek animation god Titmouse, Inc. An adaptation of the monthly comic book series critics have called "the highest quality black comedy available today" is being developed with veteran comedy producers Krysia Plonka and Tracey Baird of Thank You, Brain! Productions, and TODD creators M.K. Perker and Ken Kristensen. Whether aired on Disney XD or Adult Swim, Titmouse's shows (Venture Brothers, Black Dynamite, Randy Cunningham: Ninth Grade Ninja) are the powerhouses of geek animated comedy and were a natural fit for TODD.

Now? Issue one has just joined the Fifty Dollar Club with multiple copies selling at that price point. Issues one to three are $120 easy.

Something tells me there is more to come…
