Following its release in late March, the first issue of Black Dynamite: Slave Island -- the comic addition of the big screen film -- has officially sold out. But, the people behind the comic announced this week a second printing of the issue, so fans don't need to worry.
Ape Entertainment announced Tuesday (April 26) that a second run of Slave Island is on its way, scheduled for an early May release, giving fans who missed the instant sell out debut a chance to get a copy.
"We just want to thank all the fans of the book, old and new, for giving Black Dynamite: Slave Island a try," said David Hedgecock, CEO of Ape Entertainment. "We know there are a lot of you who missed out on the first printing and we are moving as quickly as we can to make sure all of you who still need a copy will be able to get one with as little delay as possible."
Inspired by the 2009 feature film, also titled "Black Dynamite," Slave Island is based on a story by Michael Jai White, Byron Minns and Scott Sanders; and written by Brian Ash ("The Boondocks"), with art by Jun Lofamia.
"We couldn't be happier with the response the book is getting," says author Brian Ash. "What's even more exciting is it's just the tip of the iceberg for what's in store for the fans. The movie's cult following seems to be growing by the day and with the animated series coming to Adult Swim next year, we're looking forward to exploring this character in all his iterations."
Below is a brief description of what to expect from the comic:
"Between the streets, Vietnam and the C.I.A., Black Dynamite thought he had seen it all. But nothing could have prepared him for his most dangerous mission yet! In BLACK DYNAMITE: SLAVE ISLAND, the world's greatest Blaxploitation sensation uses his fists of fury to shut down a secret island where The Man still plays by 1850's rules!"
