Tom King & Peter Gross' Animal Farm for the 21st century, ANIMAL POUND #1, has sold out and is returning with a second printing.

The press release follows:

Media Release -- BOOM! Studios today announced that ANIMAL POUND #1 has sold out at the distributor level! From the minds of the multi-Eisner-winning, New York Times bestselling writer Tom King (The Human Target, Mister Miracle), Eisner-nominated industry titan Peter Gross (Lucifer, American Jesus), Eisner-nominated colorist Tamra Bonvillain (Once & Future, World's Finest), and Eisner-nominated letterer Clayton Cowles (Strange Adventures, Die), discover the modern retelling of the timeless Orwellian allegory in ANIMAL POUND.

When animals grow tired of being caged, killed, and sold off–it's only a matter of time before they've had enough…

After an uprising puts the animals in control of a pound, they quickly find themselves as comrades–united against everything that walks on two legs. But with this newfound power comes a sudden challenge: how best to lay the groundwork for this new democracy.

Visionaries King and Gross give us an updated version of Animal Farm for 21st century America, where a two-party system gives way to fear and fascism in this can't-miss event series.

In response to the overwhelming support from retailers and fans, BOOM! Studios has announced ANIMAL POUND #1 SECOND PRINTING (NOV237588), featuring brand new cover art by Peter Gross, available in stores January 31, 2024.

"Fans everywhere are enthralled with the familiar story they thought they knew," said Filip Sablik, President, Publishing & Sales, BOOM! Studios. "Tom, Peter, Tamra, and Clayton are bringing a compelling, important piece of graphic fiction to life with a powerful emotional core that honors Orwell's masterpiece in ANIMAL POUND, and we want to ensure every reader who is interested in discovering it for themselves can do so!"
