IT'S WRITTEN IN THE STARS

BERKELEY,
CA – 7 June 2011 – Mere days after the introduction of Frank Cho and
Doug Murray’s 50 GIRLS 50, Image Comics has announced the first issue of
their sexy sci-fi epic has sold out. A second printing is being readied
for a July 6 release.

Co-created
by Cho and Murray, with art by 50 GIRLS 50 talent search winner and
current ELEPHANTMEN artist Axel Medellin, 50 GIRLS 50 chronicles the
fantastic voyage of the Space Vessel ESS Savannah and her beautiful crew
as they fight to escape hostile aliens and exotic worlds, searching for
the wormhole that will take them to their ultimate destination: Home.

“It’s
been a blast watching this project develop over the last few years,
first an online talent search and then as Axel was turning in pages and
Frank was planning out covers,” said Image Comics Publisher Eric
Stephenson. “Everyone involved has done a fantastic job, every step of
the way, so it’s a real pleasure to see such an enthusiastic response to
the first issue.”

The
second printing of 50 GIRLS 50 #1 (APR118208), a 32-page full comic
book priced at $2.99, and 50 GIRLS 50 #2 (MAY110542) will both be on
sale July 6.
