The fourth printing of SAGA #1, which is hitting stores today, has already sold out at the distributors, causing Image to order a fifth printing. This is the second new series to receive a fifth printing of its first issue this year. The other is Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips' horror noir series FATALE. SAGA is written by Brian K. Vaughan with art Fiona Staples.
In an interview with
ICv2 at the time SAGA #1's fourth printing was announced, Image Publisher Eric Stephenson revealed that the issue was "getting to the 70,000 mark." Stephenson also cited strong sales of the title in the digital marketplace.
SAGA #1's fifth printing will be in stores on June 13, the same day as the second printing of
SAGA #3. SAGA #4 will be in stores on June 20.
