Six-Gun Gorilla #1 Hits Second Printing

What's better than two printings? How about six guns? How about a six-gun equipped gorilla? There's apparently something special about that scenario, as the work by BOOM! Studios featuring a six-gun gorilla has sold out in less than 24 hours since release. Now, a second printing of Six-Gun Gorilla #1 is on the way, bringing along the talents of Simon Spurrier, Jeff Stokely and Ramón Pérez.

Welcome to “the Blister” -- a bizarre other-world colonized by humans sometime in the 22nd century, which quickly became a hotly-contested source of fertile land and natural resources long ago exhausted on Earth. In this new frontier, a rogue gunslinger and his companion wander across a wilderness in the grips of a civil war, encountering lawlessness, natives, and perversions of civilization in a world at the crossroads between the past and the future. The fact that said gunslinger is a bio-surgically modified silverback gorilla toting a pair of enormous revolvers is neither here nor there.

The second printing ships with a striking new cover by Joe Querio with a retail price of $3.99. Full press release below.
