Trees #1 Sells 6,000 Copies More Than Ordered, And Slowly Continues To

trees-600x500I really liked the new Warren Ellis/Jason Howard comic book Trees. I'm sure I mentioned that a few times. In his Orbital Operations newsletter, Warren Ellis writes,

Oh, the continuing stoooory of the TREES #1 overprint: according to Image, we have under 6000 copies of the overprint left. That means we sold around 44,000 copies of TREES #1. Orders for TREES #2 are "over 30K" according to Image, so we approved an overprint to 35,000 copies. Issue 2 is out on the 25th. So, if you go looking for it, now you know that not only can your store obtain copies of #2, but that they can also still obtain copies of #1.

All this meant, of course, that we didn't get to do one of those sexy "sells out of print run!" stories. "Sells 6000 copies more than ordered, and slowly continues to" is no kind of headline.

Au contraire, Warren, au contraire.

Warren is appearing with Grant Morrison tonight at the British Library as part of the Comics Unmasked series of events. Yes, I'll be there.
